If her parents have a family policy, it would cover a pregnancy by any family member.

LOL, so Sarah Palin has some sort of blanket policy that nobody else gets then.

I suggest you read standard healthcare policies these days. PREGNANCIES are usually excluded, unless you pay triple the premium and they are certainly excluded from "family policies" except for people on the public dole.

Here is an excerpt of a document I give to foreign workers about US insurance coverage:

Pregnancy and Childbirth
Some policies exclude pregnancy and childbirth completely while others exclude them only for the first 12 months of the policy. Even if the pregnancy and birth are covered, some policies automatically exclude the first 15 days of a newborn's life - while others cover only the first 14 days of life. In these cases, the baby must then apply as a separate person. Because many policies exclude birth defects, and congenital and hereditary illnesses, that baby may be refused coverage. Such policies may not be appropriate if you're in the childbearing years - take a long, hard look and ask questions before you sign up for such a policy.
