Pardon? I have no idea what you are saying.

Are you in the US? Are you employed?

Medicaid, to the best of my knowledge, is not something you acquire or have right to after you get GC. This is a service which be offered to elderly people with history of work for cetain time in US.
Medicare is another service to children (mostly USC or GC holders for more than 5 years) of family with income below certain level depending on the state you are.
If you do not have income/insurance, your wife can just go to near by hospital or center at the time of labor (through the emergency room). No one will return here back because she has no insurance.

You have it backwards. Medicare is for elderly people who worked before. Medicaid is for poor people.

Also, a state has the option of extending Medicaid to legal immigrants of less than five years.

if you don't have medical insurance, the least costly way is probably giving birth in your home country. Only thing to lose is baby won't be natural born USC.. Not a big deal unless your kid is going to run for US president

I just moved to the upstate New York area...I saw your post online and it seems you really provide some valuable comments. I have some questions regarding my parents' benefits, I was wondering if you could help me answer them...My parents are over 65, one of them is disabled with very low income ($200/month from her retirement overseas). As green card holders live in New York State, will they eligible for Medicaid as soon as they obtain green card? or do they have to wait for three years because I am the sponsor?
Where should I go for for further information? Which hospital should I go?
Your kind reply will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!!

As I remember, there is in depth discussion regarding this issue under this forum, just search. To make the long story short, the situation is not that simple, it is very hard even to USC, not GC holder, to find any reasonable insurance without a reasonable work history in US through which the person pay in advance for his insurance when he get older. The GC is not some thing the US to give to people from overseas with low income to be burden on the country resources.
