to be eligible for medicaid...
Most states use the same standard for supplemental social security income. please check http://www.ssa.gov
I think one needs to be a US citizen or national, or have earned 40 working credits and meet the income limit to qualify. There are some provisions regarding disabled persons, but unfortunately pregancy is not considered as "disability" for this purpose.
There are a lot of states which offer "need-based" medical assistance. For example NY offers emergency hospital care for aliens. This is probably your best chance. You can get more information from your state\'s health or human services depts. Getting "need-based" assistance, as long as it is legally obtained (you did not false any information), will not jepordize your re-entry or naturalization. Please check www.ins.usdoj.gov under the "FAQs - public charge".

If your wife could get simple, maybe not-so-well-paid job, it could be good solution
of the problem. There are some jobs out there (which are relatively easy to get), like associate at retail store, with very nice benefits including medical insurance.
Besides, you\'ll need insurance for the child anyway. Perhaps, even more than for your pregnant wife.
