Go to a not for profit hospital. They have charity care applications available for indigent care. Also, you may qualify for state assistance, depending on your income. In most states, pregnant women are covered until delivery.

According to HealthNow New York, the average emergency room visit cost $383 last year, compared with $60 for a doctor’s visit. However, you really don’t know what it’s going to cost because you don’t know how they are going to treat your condition and what kind of ongoing treatment your condition may require. Many uninsured people are turned away if they can’t pay in cash up-front – unless it’s an emergency. You should try to secure health insurance as soon as you can and visit free clinics and county health departments in the interim.
I’ve included a link below that details the ongoing problem of the uninsured in the United States. One figure that is frightening is that an estimated number of excess deaths among uninsured people is higher than with people with diabetes (age group 25-64).
If you would like to explore the local health insurance market for free and speak with local health insurance agents without obligation, try MostChoice.com. You’ll be able to see in a few minutes what kinds of rates are available near you. If you can’t afford health insurance, please get help through free clinics, county health departments, Medicaid, charitable organizations – whatever you can find.

Check wiith the local department of social services. Perhaps you can apply for some sort of medicaid or state run insurance. They also may have a suggestion for a referral to a clinic.
Good luck.

Do you have money ? Do you have a secur job ? You could apply for a medical loan program that will let you repay the fees plus interests over an extended period of time.
Make sure you go see a nurse first, they can easily spot of the problem is serious or not and can act as a referral for the doctor and help you build your case for a loan application.

Well, I dont know where you live but, if you get too sick, you can go to a county hospital and if you cant pay, they charge it off the county.
Good luck!
