Casey started Kangu, a crowdfunding website that supports prenatalcare and childbirth services for high-risk women in developing countries, after becoming a mother herself.
It must make the policyholder entirely responsible for all medical bills up to the amount of the deductible, with certain exceptions (such as for preventive services like cancer screening and prenatalcare).
At the Department of Health and Human Services, Secretary Sebelius is working to provide mothers with better prenatalcare, and to give parents and caregivers the information they need to make healthy decisions for their families.
These women are the ones who lose access to critical medical services such as cancer-screening, check-ups and even prenatalcare also provided at these clinics.
