Need Help/Advice for having our baby in the States without Medicaid or Insurance

Thanks for responding!

My understanding of the current law is that if our baby is not born in the USA, and we aren't planning to move back to the states before the child is 16-18 year of age, and the child has not lived there for at least 2 consecutive years before that age...then it will affect their citizenship status.  They have the right to citizenship if not born in the states because I am US born, but are not granted it automatically (unless we move thereat some point)...at least what everything we've read lately says.  Maybe this is wrong, but I think it’s still the case as of lately.  Anyone know for sure?  

You have been grossly mis advised. The official page on Children born in the UK to US Parent(s).

To pass along YOUR US citizenship

Child born in wedlock to one U.S. citizen parent and one non U.S. citizen parent on or after November 14, 1986: A child born outside of the United States to one U.S. citizen parent and one non-U.S. citizen parent may be entitled to citizenship providing the U.S. citizen parent had been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for five years, at least two years of which were after s/he reached the age of fourteen. This period of physical presence must have taken place prior to the birth of the child.

I am US Born & raised, my daughter is a Dual UK/US Citizen. All we had to do was go to the Embassy in London and register her birth and we got her passport. Her birth was covered under the NHS. As far as her US Citizenship being in jeaopardy? There is nothing that reuquires her to 'choose' what she wants to be. There is no US law that prohibits dual citizenship and requires that you 'choose' what you want to be. She is British and American and no one can ever take that away from her.

If we remain in the UK and she never lives in the US she cannot pass along HER US CITIZENSHIP to HER CHILDREN.

Dual Nationality
In the 1980's, the Supreme Court ruled that U.S. citizenship is a constitutional right that cannot be taken away from a citizen who does not intend to relinquish it. Therefore, such actions as naturalization in a foreign country, travel on a foreign passport, employment with a foreign government, and voting in a foreign election do not automatically jeopardize American citizenship. However, please note that all U.S. citizens, even dual nationals, must enter and depart the United States on U.S. passports.
 

If you aren't living in the US and you just fly over to have your baby then I don't see how you could qualify for Medicaid.  

You're correct Andrea9222 -

As far as you being able to get state Medicaid if you're just intending to go to the US to have your baby then return...being a former Medicaid worker (California Medi-Cal) I know for FACT that in order for someone to be qualified for this program is to be resident of that state with an intent to remain there indefinately. If you do not then you will not qualify and your application will fail due to residency.

Also, assuming that you live in the UK, remember that you cannot fly when you are in the late stages of pregnancy.  So if your plan was to become pregnant in the UK, continue living in the UK and then jet off to America when it comes time to have the baby, this will not work.

Thanks for the responses.

We are thinking of moving back and I am still a resident in the states as I do have a property and I do go back for freelance work regularly whenever I get it, sometimes for months at a time.   However, if we decided to stay here then we might be here for a long time so I'm trying to gather info.   

Just to clear a few things up:
I think the NHS is great and I think the care is wonderful.  I have NO concerns with the care I would receive as well as my baby.  The reason for my post is just to get more information about the possibilities and difference of having a baby in the States and UK and about the states mentioned so that when and if we move back or if we stay here I will have more information.
