一项新的法律获得通过。该项法律禁止了国际学生的F-2享受medicaid的权利（包括子女和配偶），所以，以后F-2的女生怀孕生孩子将成为几乎不可能负担的事。我们密歇根刚刚接到的通知，不知道其他州有没有类似的法律文件。大家一定注意一下。

原文如下：

This message is relevant to those students who have spouses and/or children with them in the United States, or who will be bringing spouses and/or children
to the United States in the future. This message is VERY important for any F-1 students with F-2 spouses who are currently pregnant or who may become pregnant in the future.

IMPORTANT: A recent change in the law has made F-2 spouses INELIGIBLE for Medicaid coverage! This means that if a female F-2 spouse becomes pregnant, she can NOT receive Medicaid coverage for prenatal care. Prenatal care is health care of a pregnant woman and her unborn child during pregnancy. Without medical insurance or Medicaid coverage, the costs of prenatal care must be paid by the F-2 spouse or her family. Prenatal care is quite expensive and may not be affordable to many international families.
