Insurance

Actually, there is no insurance that will cover a pregnancy for a visitor to the US. If you decide to deliver in the US you would need to pay out of pocket.

Apply for medicaid, they should not ask for legal status for the care of a child

Isn't that an abuse of the system? Where you don't put in anything, but you are there to take the benefits someone else has paid for. These are the kinds of things that make visitor visas harder for those people who play by the rules. At any rate, this forum is devoted to issues of visitor visas so this is veering off topic.

Insurance

When you request the visitor visa you sign an affidavit of support or someone signed one for you saying that you are able to pay for your expenses while in the US. That includes medical expenses. So, you or whoever sponsored you to come would be responsible to pay for those medical expenses. If you cannot afford to pay those expenses then you should return to your home country to have the baby.

On the side note: I was just suggesting in case its like an emergency or something like that, you really cant have her give birth here just because you feel like it..

The person who sponsored her could end up paying the bill -__-
