This one at UVA Hospital.

PSA: Every client I've worked with who has experienced a stillbirth or TFMR (and that's a lot of clients at this point) has then had to deal with insurance coverage issues where they needed to rehash their traumatizing experience over & over
The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.
But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

The lack of clean, publicly available bathrooms in this country is one example of its family unfriendliness. We've again left this very basic need to corporations who can set limits for use. Have you ever tried to take a potty training toddler into a public portapotty?
