Yes, pregnant individuals who are unable to work may qualify for Medicaid, as many states provide specific coverage for low-income pregnant women. Eligibility typically depends on household income and family size, and criteria can vary by state. It's important to apply as soon as possible, as Medicaid can cover prenatal care and other essential services for both the mother and the baby. Contacting your state's Medicaid office can provide specific guidance on the application process.

No. More information would be necessary to give an exact resolution, but you are not allowed to have both private insurance and Medicaid. You can not have both private insurance and medicaid at the same time. That is what is called double dipping. You husbands plan should have an option to "opt-in" to his plan if it is a group medical provided through work.


What can you do if you can't afford medical care when you are pregnant have no insurance and can't get Medicaid?

Can you get state assistance? I'm not sure what Medicaid is, sorry if it's state assistance. Some options are looking into a free clinic. They have low to no fees depending on your income. Or going to a doctor that will work with you on a payment plan during and after they baby is born. That may be difficult to find, I'm not sure. There are plenty of options. Call a few doctors and talk with them. They may be able to help you find insurance of some other way to have your baby safely in a hospital. With my experience we couldn't afford health care either & I applied for medicaid & got turned down. Over & over again. My friend told me if I quit & only my husband worked we would get approved for medicaid & she was right. When I quit my job & reapplied for medicaid it got approved. If you and your husband are both working and your income is "too high" to qualify for Medicaid, you can claim that the two of you are separated so only the mother's income will count toward the qualifications. That has helped some people I know get Medicaid.

Laws differ from state to state, however; you should check with Social Services and inquire about state assistance -- such as Medicaid/Medicare.
