Pregnant after IF

ObamaCare and BreastFeeding - Share what you know

Does anyone have any idea what all this entails?  I looked here:  http://www.healthcare.gov/law/resources/regulations/womensprevention.html

And this is all I could find...

Breastfeeding support, supplies, and counseling. Comprehensive lactation support and counseling, by a trained provider during pregnancy and/or in the postpartum period, and costs for renting breastfeeding equipment. In conjunction with each birth.

The reason I ask is because I called both mine and MH insurance companies about a week ago asking if we had any breast feeding coverange.  I was told by both that we didn't have any coverage unless it was "medically necessary." Meaning only if I was released from the hospital before the baby and would have to send my milk to the hospital for feedings.  I was told that pumping after returning to work was considered a "convenience."  I was livid so I rudely asked them if they truly would rather have babies be formula fed than to receive breast milk.  I was completely shocked.  Then I saw a post on another board about ObamaCare.

Please share with me what you know regarding this and insurance companies.
