Louis Brandeis. Louis Dembitz Brandeis (/ËbrÃ¦ndaÉªs/; November 13, 1856 â October 5, 1941) was an American lawyer and associate justice on the Supreme Court of the United States from 1916 to 1939. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky, to Jewish immigrant parents from Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic), who raised him in a secular home.
Note on Maternity Coverage. Pregnancy is generally considered to be a preexisting condition. Before Obamacare, if you were pregnant when you joined an insurance plan that excluded coverage for preexisting conditions including pregnancy, you would not be covered for maternity costs.
I Don't Have Health Coverage At All. Obamacare's individual mandate requires most legal U.S. residents to get covered, so you might be subject to a tax penalty if you were uncovered for more than three months. The formula is complicated, but the penalty starts at $95 and goes all the way up to about $11,000.
