Long story short, I lost my insurance through my job and won't be able to get it back for 90 days. Is income going to be an issue even though I'm pregnant? I just need the insurance part nothing else. I'm a nurse and my fiance works too. Thanks for the responses!!

    You should still be able to get it just because youre pregnant. I dont think they can turn you down when youre pregnant!

    um, I'm not sure
    you can try I think you can get it as long as your pregnant

    Every case and state and county is different. Its worth a try!

    I got it with my last job and I made pretty good money...I still get it with this job too and i make even more but now I have a family to support so I think that has something to do with it

    Good to know. I really only need it until my work insurance kicks in but I need it soon. I need to go get everything checked out to make sure everything is ok...

    You can go to your local health department without insurance or medicaid until your medicaid or insurance kicks in.

    I didn't know that. Thank you @Mimi. I'm in Florida so if anyone knows that system it would be helpful as well.

    Yep..i dont have medicaid yet I went to get pregnancy confirmed & they sceduled my appt and didnt even ask income or anything..they just gave me a list of what to take with me to get medicaid.
    I dont think they can turn you down. The only thing us the wait is little longer because it has alot more patients. But its better waiting 90 days.

    Other people I've seen talking about said they got theirs in a week or so.. is it really that quick?

    I'm not sure how it is where you live but they gave me temporary medicaid that started the day I went In to get it .

    From the panhandle. Here you can go the health dept and sign up for a 30 day Medicaid til you straighten things out with the Medicaid office.

    Im a nurse and didn't have ins when first found out I was Preg. I applied for medicaid and received it within 5 days no problem.
