No health insurance and pregnant?
You have to have coverage or your new policy, whenever it becomes effective will NOT cover you if you had a lapse in coverage. Take the Cobra. When my husband was switching jobs there was going to be a lapse in coverage and we had to bite the bullet and pay so that I would be covered. Cut corners somewhere because you do not want to take the chance of not having coverage. Good luck.
I'm pregnant and I don't have health insurance :(?
Well, there are many options that you have not researched or considered yet. If you call the hospital where you will likely deliver and tell them about this, they can give you ideas and point you in the right direction. Alot of hospitals have programs for people like you where you pay according to income rather than a flat per service kind of payment. They also do payment plans. What makes me mad is that this entire bazillion dollar "healthcare" bill did not address this very issue. Any plan that covers pregnancy makes you pay into it for a year before paying out anything at all. So even if you did suddenly find coverage they wouldn't do anything for this pregnancy. So, consider midwifery if you are young and healthy and likely to have a normal pregnancy with no complications. The entire cost pre-natal and labor/delivery for a typical midwife delivering a natural childbirth at a hospital is only about $5,000. Midwives these days have the same training as an ob-gyn for caring for a healthy pregnancy and delivery. They run all of the same tests and send you for all of the same ultrasounds. They have an ob-gyn that they can call in an emergency and would refer you to one who will take low income patients and help you find a way to pay if you do develop complications. If you go to an ob-gyn for everything all the way through it - you're looking at a cost of $40 to $50K unless they are a doctor willing with a plan to assist you. The other thing to do is contact your local Crisis Pregnancy Center because they are connected to doctors who will do everything to ensure proper care for you and the baby. Trust me - there IS still love in the world. You just have to work hard to find it and you are not going to get it from an insurance company or the government! If you call around to the labor and delivery departments of local hospitals and ask if there are midwives who deliver there, you'll get information on who to call for that too. Trust your instincts. Women in poverty all around the globe give birth everyday without this grand expectation that you must earn at least 80K per year to do it and have a $2500/mo insurance plan. In an economy like the one we live in - shame on anyone who would put you down in this situation! You are your child's advocate and you will find a way. Women all over the globe do everyday!

The few companies who do provide coverage for this scenario will generally impose heavy restrictions for the little coverage offered, not to mention high cost. Due to the high risk, low reward nature concerning pregnancy coverage and visitors it is simply not cost-effective or beneficial for companies to offer coverage for visitors.
