i can afford health insurance, kahl...it's just that right now, nobody will insure me because i have a pre-existing condition.

$1,144.85 a month, however, is out of the question...and that's the only policy that i can buy that will cover the delivery.

the point i was trying to make is that according to almost everyone i have talked to, i am better off making less money right now so i can get on this healthy start program. it makes no sense to me whatsoever that there isn't some kind of program that lets you pay into your own insurance. i can afford up to about $250 a month. for an individual policy, that's kind of high, but like i said, pregnancy = pre-existing when it comes to individual policies.
