HI! In our state, Maryland, any woman, regardless of income, can sign up for the Maryland Women and Childrens Health Program, which covers all prenatal care, and anything you should need.
Can you apply for state insurance? If you get pregnant, i'd run to the nearest health Dept, and ask. Or ask now, just in case.
But I wouldn't make that decision about permanent birth control unless you are convinced you do not want more children.
I know being state-funded may not be your ultimate goal, but if you get pregnant, you HAVE to get care. Especially with HG.
Can you look into something from your friends, about who you should talk to? I'd go to the Health Dept.
Hope you find your answers!
Christy
