If a woman is unsure whether she will have the same job in nine months, she may be【S2】_____to get pregnant for fear of losing or switching insurance plans. Federal law prevents group plans from【S3】_____pregnancy as a pre-existing condition, but individual plans【S4】_____and can end up charging women tens of thousands of dollars for a delivery.

"Those who can afford better methods with a big upfront cost may see pregnancy rates continue to fall, " says Camp."But among lower-income women, a third of them are saying that they can’t afford the contraception they’d like to use.

选项
答案A
