i hope someone can help me. My girlfriend
and I are recently pregnant, just found
out last week. I have a decent job, but
my insurance doesn't cover family, she is
finishing up her degree, therefore still
in school and doesn't have insurance.
What can we do to get some assistance?
We're very worried about the fact that we
can't get her any insurance cause we need
to start seeing a doctor as soon as
possible.
Thanks in advance for any information and
suggestions!

I guess you're the us, because here in
australia you'd be covered under
government health care, but do you have
health centres/community advice centres?
Or could you go to an er for some
advice/guidance??
Another possibility is that there are
mother's/new mother's groups on-line that
your girlfriend could join, they might be
able to help with practical (if not actual
medical) advice.

Hello "j" Posted: 01-05-04 20:49pm
Thank god you know that you have to go to
the doctor sooooonnn ! Can you get extra
insurance? Or maybe if you guys live
togeter you can get medicare, check this
...
I think you need to check in to
"medicaid", that is why it is there, for
people who need the assistance in
emergency situations. It makes me so mad
when people rely on the welfare system
habitually just because it's there, but in
your case, it sounds like you really need
it! Call your local division of family
& children office and they will set
you up with a case worker who can get you
started. If worse comes to worse, and
they cannot help you, hospitals and
doctors are usually very helpful in
setting up payment arrangements.
Goodluck!
