Are illegal immigrants able to get any kind of help during pregnancy and delivery?

Question

No insurance!

Answer 1

yes, they can.  medical professionals cannot turn down assistance to anyone in an emergency situation.  they might be able to get turned down for routine prenatal care but they cannot get turned down during labor and delivery.

Answer 2

If you are in labor and in need of medical treatment then they can not turn you dovvn, even if you dont have insurance. But as far as being able to qualify for insurance, vvic, etc you have to be a legal citizen of that country.

Answer 3

When my mother worked ob, she would notice how the illegal Mexican immigrants in my hometown would run up a big bill, deliver the baby so it was a U.S. citizen, and then go back to Mexico without paying any of it.  That, or they milked the system for all it was worth.

They need to be shipped back to their own countries.

Answer 4

Everyone charges for their services, doctors, lawyers, repairmen, etc.  You can't expect to get free care, so you will have to pay.  As long as you're paying, I doubt that they will ask whether or not your legal.

As for delivery, the previous poster is right.  No hospital can turn you away in an emergency.  However, when you get there, if birth isn't imminent, a private hospital can send transport you to a public hospital.  Again, you will have to pay for all of this.

Answer 5

The same if not better. If no insurance then they don't have to wait for insurance to clear stuff. Great right; if you don't have insurance you can get better care because that means no restrictions so the doctors and hospital can treat you as best they can.

Answer 6

Yes, you can back from where you came. We do NOT owe you medical coverage or any other kind of welfare. You have the answer on your question, the  key word is  ILLEGAL. That means you don't belong here.
