Motherhood Maternity

Since I won't be getting my paycheck while I'm on maternity leave, what will happen with my health insurance? My employer pays most of it, but they still take about 0 a week out of my check for what I have to pay. If I'm not getting a paycheck while I'm on leave, how will my insurance be paid? I have short term disability that I pay into voluntarily every week, so that's what I'll be living off of while I'm out, which isn't really much. How will the insurance get paid?

My company does not offer any sort of paid maternity leave, so I was planning on buying short term disability insurance to cover part of my 12 week maternity leave. Are there short term disability plans that will cover my salary 100%. Does anyone have one they have used and that they can recommend? Thanks!

I am planning to take 3 months off from work but really worried about how I'm going to make ends meet when my workplace doesn't offer vacation time or anything. Is it true that women go on short term disability during maternity leave?

Thanks!!

(I was just reading that in most European countries and Canada you get a YEAR paid maternity leave and free medical. It's not fair!!!)
