Honestly never heard of a single pregnant mom not getting medicaid

The income eligibility to receive Medicaid, as a Pregnant woman, in Louisiana is 133% of the Federal Poverty Limit. 133% of the FPL for a 2 person hh, which is what she would be if it is only herself and her other child, is $21,306.60 annually so she is well over the income limit. When did she become pregnant? If it was within the last 60 days she has a qualifying event and can purchase a health insurance plan outside of open enrollment. LINK /
