Thrifty Thursday - Save Money on Having a Baby
May 1st, 2008 | By Just a Guy | Category: Blog, Thrifty ThursdayWow, with the announcement of our Seminary Meme winner I almost forgot it was Thursday…
This item is something I stumbled across several months back (when uninsured) and we thought Just a Gal might be pregnant. While I knew, if that was the case, that God would take care of us, I couldn’t help jumping on Google to try and find out how to afford a pregnancy without insurance.
That is when I found the MaternityCard. The gist of the card is that, while not insurance, you get insurance prices at the doctor. See, crazy as it sounds, insurance companies get to pay less for the same services that out-of-pocket people pay. Therefore, if you don’t have insurance you not only have to pay yourself, but it is more expensive… The maternity card seems to be a good solution. Basically, you still have to pay for everything, but having this card allows you to get discount (insurance) prices on your service (check out the savings potential).
Now, most seminaries require you to have insurance, so this might not be an issue for you (actually, all seminaries require insurance) but, none the less, this is a thrifty site to remember for the future, should you or anyone you know need it.

Rent your books for seminary?
I don’t get what you mean by all seminaries require you to have insurance……I don’t have insurance and still go to seminary.
Hmmm… I am (or at least was) pretty confident that all universities required that full time students have insurance… any admissions people out there who can confirm?
I think they encourage it, but it isn’t required as far as I know.
