"Removal for Public Charge Reasons:

Persons may be removed (deported) if they have become public charges within five years of entry to the United States. However, this can only occur if the cause of their financial condition existed before their entry to the U.S. The USCIS is not to view the use of public programs, including federal means-tested public benefits, as the single ground for the public charge determination. Case law requires that, in order to be removed under the public charge provisions, a foreign national must receive state or other government benefits for which there is a fee. The government must seek repayment from the foreign national and/or the sponsor, and there must be a failure to pay the government."

I don't think my wife will qualify for medicaid because of her permanent resident card status. Citizenship is required, i'm almost positive.

She may qualify for "emergency medicaid." Citizenship is not required.
