… and effectively of now the pilot program is no
longer. Anyone currently corresponding with her will have their birth honoured
but no more women will be accepted until a formal business decision has been
made. She said the pilot program has been a huge success, however now it’s
time for the business to make a decision. Jenni acknowledged the great meeting
she had with two midwives this week to put the case forward, but said the
bottom line is that midwives don’t have insurance. She is going to fight
for it and believes that they need to do it, but I just get a really bad
feeling. Maybe it’s just me, but she was very hesitant… anyway, I
have been asked to remove HBA’s details off my site and she will let me
know asap if I can put it back up or not. *sigh*
Lots of fingers, toes and everything crossed here for women of Australia –
lets hope they make a good business decision and choose to make this a
permanent part of their policy. Well done to everyone involved in working with
HBA and putting their case forward. I think now is the time to send in your
testimonials if you have had your birth covered with them – they said
that might be a next step but lets think a step ahead. If you know anyone who
has had their birth covered by HBA, please send in something praising their
efforts and all that groveling. J Best
