How good is health insurance in America when a woman has a child? Is this a reason for so many abortions?

In America a Black woman is 3 times more likely to have an abortion than a white woman whilst a hispanic woman is 2 and a half more times likely to have one. Obviously because these two groups of people are poorer they have more abortions. How good does health insurance cover newborn babies?
--------------------
America has a program called Medicaid that is available to all pregnant women that are lower income. Medicaid is covers 100% of all medical bills and medication for approved physicians and hospitals. Then medicaid will cover the newborn until it is 18 years old. The medicaid coverage will pay for 100% of all medicine and medical bills. The downside of Medicaid is that it is only available to extremly lower income women and the coverage will only apply to approved (less desirable) physicians. I don't believe that the insurance situation is the reason for african american abortion rates. America is a very interesting place to examine the difference in present day cultures. Morals are at an all time low in our country, and black communities are being primarily driven on dreams of drugs, sports, or music. And, just to be clear, I am a pro-choice, hip-hop loving, female.
