		<description>Individuals can always purchase health insurance directly from the carrier, but that is usually expensive.  She may be able to get discounts through www.nafe.com since she is self-employed, but I am not sure if the discount will offer enough financial incentive for her.

As the others have mentioned, social services may be the best way to go.  I would definitely check into Medicaid and your state&#039;s CHIPs program.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Has she tried your local Department of Social Services?  Most states have a program for people with little, low or no income.
Also, in your area, do you have a 211 (or something like that) info line?  They are a great source to get help.
She can also ask her doctor or pediatrician where to look for coverage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>If she is unable to get insurance through the father as the above answerer stated she could look into Medicaid for herself and the baby. If she doesn&#039;t qualify for full Medicaid she should be able to qualify for the state Children&#039;s Health Insurance Program for the baby. Then she could get a basic plan for herself. To do this she could visit a local independent agent who can find the best plan for her situation and budget.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Independent Agent</description>

		<description>It&#039;s too expensive to get decent coverage for herself and her child.

Alot of women want to be home with their babies, but not everyone can because they need to get out and earn a living.

What about the father? Why can&#039;t he carry health insurance on at least the infant?  She can take him to child support enforcement and they will order him to carry insurance and pay for it if she isn&#039;t working.

If I were here, I would be getting welfare assistance and going to COLLEGE to get a real job instead of babysitting...b/c that is an endless circle of low wages that she is getting ready to fall into.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Self-employed, single mom needs help finding health insurance.?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;My friend is a single mom that is looking to start babysitting so that she can stay home with her baby. She has 5 children that she could watch, but she is worried about being able to afford health insurance for herself and her child. What kind of assistance is available for a woman in this situation? Thanks!
