want to get tubes tied

does anyone know Maryland rules on when and why a woman can get their tubes tied? I am a 28 year old woman with one child, I REALLY dont want anymore, I cant imagine loving anyone else the way I love my son! I know I would, but I really am happy with just one. I want to elect to get my tubes tied, there is no reason other than I am done child bearing and dont want to take everything out. Does anyone know if insurance covers it, or if you are even "allowed" to at my age? If anyone knows the answer, OR a good link or site to find the answer PLEASE let me know I would be most grateful!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

I believe there is no law in any state that would prevent a women at 28 from getting her tubes tied.  I don't know if insurance covers tubal ligation.  It might be something that each insurance carrier decides for itself.  

Please keep in mind that women on this site write in ALL the time about regretting their tubal ligations.  They are often desperate, in face of changes in their lives that they couldn't have predicted, and want to have their ligations reversed, and that is a costly operation with no guarantees.  The future is unpredictable.  You might try an IUD instead, or ask your husband to have a vasectomy (a much simpler operation).
