Please help me help my friend!?

My friend recently found out she is pregnant. (Abortion is NOT an option) She is a temp, so they do not offer any sort of benefits to her. I have been trying to find out as much as I can to help her, but all I have been coming to find is she is screwed. I called about 5 insurance companies and they will not take her because she is already pregnant.... What advice should I offer her? Any ideas for beneficial help? She makes too money to qualify for Oregon's health plans and or state assistance... Please no rude comments.

Update:

Julie- I am not going to step up and raise someone elses baby. She has a husband for that. Thank you very much. Also Abortion is not an option for HER. She does not believe in killing babies. (I personally think it is up to each individual) She is freaking out and needs help, I have tried to do what I can think of to help her. I am not experienced in the having a baby department. Like I said origanally....

NO RUDE COMMENTS PLEASE.

Take your negative attitude somewhere else.

Update 2:

This Julie person change their name to Katie now? hmmm

    The only rude thing I have to say is about the first comment posted by the other person. They're posting it on every question in the "pregnancy" category, and as a physician it's frustrating to see people like this waste others' time.

    Yes, there is help out there! You can have her go by the SRS agency where she can file for insurance there. Not to worry, most there are accepted and have very low co-pays ($3) for visits and medications and in many situations, all visits to doctors are free! I believe the program is called Health Wave, also known as the "medical card." Also, she can apply to get the baby, and anyone else living with her assistance too!

    If she would be interested in WIC, she needs to go by the health department and apply there. They offer free food and treatments in some cases to those pregnant, and free formula and supplies to those after you've had your baby. I'd say that's her best chances considering most will say she's not eligible.

    Hope it helped!

    Is abortion not an option for HER or YOU? Are you dictating her choices..or ready to help her? I say that you take her in and help her raise this baby. You wanna be supportive right? This is your chance. It's not as easy as saying " Abortion is not an option". So you need to go ahead and step up. A baby is not a light decision. Good Luck

    did you ask the state health care provider if it matters that she is a temp employee? i was trying to get on medicaid and with both mine and my boyfriend's income it was too much even though we were barely living paycheck to paycheck at the time. I mentioned to them that i was a temp employee and they said that made a whole lot of difference and they could approve me. hope this helps and good luck
