I hope the lady listen to you Hauwa but if she refuse to listen it's all on her and I hope she will have the nerves to tell her baby someday that she has to cheat the government by using someone else identity to pay for the baby's medical bill.It is much better for you to give birth in the UK where you are legal than come here and find out the hard way.medical bills in America is a big issue but alot of naijas won't tell you the truth but whatever you want to do it's all on you.

KayUsa-Get off your high horse; who said anything about using someone else identity; I had stated that am looking to pay; from information i have gotten here; i have been able to contact some hospitals charging in the region of $5-9K; and is no where near the $20k u r quoting to have paid; of which am assuming was paid by ur insurance; do have a medical insurance here which covers me in the US due to the nature of my job; but maternity is not covered as it is deemed as a pre-existing condition. So am looking to pay for giving birth to my child; and i know that prices vary across different states; hence the reason for the post.

The horse high no be small

@Shinatu
You are very wrong. Hospitals here in the States do ask for proof of residency/citizenship, income, current address if you don't have medical insurance before you can be treated. Unless of course you are unconscious or in a bad shape. So don't confuse people with your statements about no hospital do this, no hospital do that. And yes, hospital will release your financial information to the INS if you received public aid while in the States

Thanks Ajileko,
Let her believe whatever she want to believe.I really don't give a heck about you or your problem.I will only say what I know it does not matter if you agree with me or not I reside in the states and I work for the federal government.I am not ready to go into details of how my bill was 20K you have all year round to figure that out.it's all on you but know that this is America and not England.You need to have an insurance to pay and it will cost you allot as a foreigner that is the bottom line[b] nobody is saying you are going to use someone else identity you should have read through the lines if you don't use glasses the only reason [/b] why i said that is because alot of Nigerians come here and don't tell people the truth but you will find out when you come here and probably you may have the nerves to tell the baby the truth someday.
Good luck

                               i have really thought about it,it is simply pride, perhaps she wants to show off with it.     what is the difference b/W a british p. and state p.i have met people like that.

If you have a place to stay around New york, I can be of help to you. With $3,500 you will have your baby at one of the best hospitals in newyork.


Ignore this yahooze

Woman arrives the US with intention to pay hospital bills after delivery, she has relatives in The States. Firstly, no OB will take her because she is over 30 weeks gone. Ok, in order to get into the system she tries to get in through the emergency route. She is rushed to the emergency ward of the hospital and is asked for her ID, she says she doesnt have any, and is told they cant help her if she doesnt have any ID. Finally she produces her passport with visa on it. There is no insurance to cover her. She is admitted, details taken. Observed for 4 and a half hrs, given 3 tynenol and sent home thinking she has been able to get into the system so when labour starts they aleast have her record. How wrong!!!! She is slammed with a bill of $950 and told she has to get an OB to make her use the hospital.

Some one mentioned 'PROVIDENCE HOSPITAL' in an earlier post, that hospital was also visited and she was asked if she had a visa and she replied in the affirmative, she is told she will pay a $12,000 deposit and if any complication arises the bill will climb, if it doesnt, she will be given the final bill.

Option three came in the first emergency route hospital, there was a doctor who took women from 37 weeks sef, but you pay $3,500 cash for prenatal, labour and delivery. Then you pay the hospital 4,000 for using it's facilities, 1,500 for epidural, 1,000 for the Peditrician and 3,000 to the doctor for blood work which he must run. In there you found women from almost all over the World in his waiting room.
The final solution came in form of a birthing center, where you give birth the traditional way, but they take women with low risk pregnancies.

I don't understand why having birth is so expensive in the USA, $12000 just for 2 or 3 days stay in the hospital? how much does epidural injections costs that makes them to charge $1500?. It seems to me that they've turned this birthing to money making exercise after realising some people's insatiable quest US passport, . Apart from the fact that all this is free in the UK for both citizens and residents so many illegals can have their child free without anyone requesting for their ID.If at all some people have to pay I'm sure it wouldn't be that astronomical compare to the US of A, sometime i just don't understand all these craziness about America sef,
