Being 17 you can apply for medicaid for yourself through kids connection which was in my opinion the best thing President Bush did for our children in our country. Go to your local Health and Human Services Department and ask for an application for Medicaid and they will help you fill it out.
Best idea is to actually find a job that offers benefits. It's unfortunate now a days that parent's aren't properly providing for our children, but if you find a job with benefits, it's really going to be in YOUR best interest.

Jobs give insurance. But cause your 17, i dont think you can buy insurance yourself. Good luck bro.

nicely. there is not any way in hell you will get into college with your inadequate spelling potential. So i might in basic terms stick to for a job on the interior reach McDonalds and take a bypass to to the welfare place of work and practice to stay something of my existence. Oh yeah, did I component out how particularly egocentric you're for bringing a baby into the international at 17? i might say in basic terms bypass component sparkling. do not sugarcoat it, I advise..you're pregnant. wish I helped.

You (actually, your parents - you are under age) can call any insurance agent and buy a policy, just like you can buy car insurance, life insurance, or house insurance. NO GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IS REQUIRED!

Your state should have a program for you to sign up for, or you can contact an independent insurer, but I would imagine they would cost more that what the state charges.
Check on your states website, there should be info. there.

youre probably eligible for medicaid, which is free health insurance (atleast until you turn 18)
