Your example makes me wonder why a couple would not have healthcare before they decided to start a family? I have had healthcare since age 18. I never worked anywhere that provided healthcare, so I paid for it myself.

Evidently you don't understand how one can qualify for Medicaid. First, you have to demonstrate that you are destitute, so if you earn more than $12,000 per year, you will NOT qualify. If you do qualify, you have to spend all of your assets to no more value than $2,000. Now, if you qualify you are put on a waiting list that could last up to 9 months. So, your safety net is really hard to use.
Not all couples have health insurance, even though the AHA has made it more available than ever before. Pregnancies are also not always planned (of course you know that but your remarks show a certain ignorance of reality) and last of all, the remark was targeted at the Trumpcare proposal that would preclude most pre existing medical conditions from being covered.
You really come across as being a quite heartless person
