RSS FeedWhat Would UPMC Health Insurance Think of Pregnant Olympian?
One of Canada’s Olympic hopefuls is 5 1/2 months pregnant, according to Yahoo! Sports’ Chris Chase. Kristie Moore is a 30 year old member of Canada’s curling team. She is only the third known pregnant Olympian, after a Swedish figure skater in the early 1900’s and a German skeleton athlete in 2006. Moore says that her pregnancy does not affect her ability to “throw rocks” just yet, although when her belly grows it just might. Her teammates have been supportive and point out that she is young and fit, which will help her in curling competitions.
I have to wonder what her insurance company thinks about her competing in the Olympics while pregnant. While companies like UPMC health insurance and Mercy Health Plans don’t have any rules against this, they may be taking on more risk with a pregnant customer competing in high level sports. Moore is an alternate so she will only actually compete if one of her team members gets injured anyways. With the Canadian women being favored to win gold in curling, Moore’s unborn baby could be the youngest team member to win a gold medal!
