This whole mess is a reason for national healthcare. The baby would be covered because they were a US citizen, not under a policy where the insurance companies try to beat each other out for who's not going to pay first!

There is a third option, and probably a fourth and fifth, that does not require a national healthcare plan. Your lawyer and others in the legal community could lobby the state legislature for laws similar to those in AZ and other states in regards to adoption related expenses and healthcare coverage. This could help the citizens of Georgia out immensely, too. Local laws are much more effective than federal laws. (I'll admit I'm scared of a national healthcare system when I see what the feds do w/ No Child Left Behind and the federal reserve over the last few weeks. Also, I have had medical care in the military, and it was awful. I think we need the feds to clean up what they are in charge of before we give them our healthcare, too. Not trying to be snarky, just my take on that issue.)
