Im not sure how to answer this, I dont know if medicaid is the answer or not. I would call your health department, ask them about the wic program, and they can tell you what you can get

All canadian residents have health insurance.
Here in america, unless the teen is already covered under some kind of policy before she falls pregnant, then medicaid would probably be the only way to go. It is going to be really freakin hard(if not impossible) to find an insurance policy when you are already pregnant.
Wic is not health insurance and would have nothing to do with medicaid. If you are on medicaid and pregnant than you are automatically eligible for wic, but not vice versa.
