Health insurance for baby

Holly

Hey ladies, baby isn't due til June but I'm trying to figure up all expenses and see if it's possible to work part time so I can be with baby more (my husband prefers this too).

So at my job, health insurance for me AND baby added will be a minimum of $400/month. That's not including my husband. So my question is does this seem reasonable or would we be better off to get insurance on our own somewhere else?

Everyone keeps telling me we should try to get baby on Medicaid bc if I have to quit my job or work part time (due to childcare costs, which could potentially be close to what I bring home anyways) that we would qualify. But is Medicaid good insurance for baby? And does it really work that way like if I had to quit work and income goes down a lot, you can qualify just like that?
