They seem pretty close to me.
You said you didn't bat 100, what did you bat then?
You would think so too if you read the story.Quote:

...
She says there were other issues, too. Some of the doctors said they wouldn't see her because she was too far along in her pregnancy — about 30 weeks. A few practices did take the HMO insurance, but they operated as a rotating clinic and couldn't guarantee she would see the same doctor every time. Rachel wanted to establish a relationship with her obstetrician.
The entire premise of your argument is false. They had insurance and found practices that would accept them with her insurance coverage. She chose to quit paying her insurance and have her child at home. This was a personal choice. Get it? They exercised their free-will here, they weren't forced into anything.Quote:
Louis Adams, a spokesman for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, says he went down that same list a month after Rachel had checked. He says most of the 28 obstetricians do take the HMO insurance.
Autobiograpical much?Quote:

You're doing it again. Diversion, distraction and fallacy. Without fallacy you have NOTHING to say. It's sad but it's true. I know, or at least believe, that IRL you're not this stupid. Why do you have to be this stupid here?Quote:

You have to be careful when you start and stop measuring.Quote:

What tri-mester were you in?Quote:
