I think this is the answer for now. My parents are over 65 by the way and yeah, I probably not getting any new sibling soon.

I called to Obamacare for NY state, they are fully covered by full medicaid as soon as they get here. i864 doesn't apply on medicaid in NY state. (I think texas are like NY too). As long as they make 138% of federal poverty level or less (like 21k a year), they can apply for it.

"NY State of Health (NYSOH) - many immigrants in NYC can get public or private health insurance through this marketplace.

Depending on your immigration status, you may be eligible for full or limited public health insurance coverage, or financial assistance to lower your private health insurance costs.

Getting health insurance through NY State of Health will not affect your immigration status. It will not be held against you if you apply to change or renew your immigration status."

somebody did raise the same questions as I do

So, NY medicaid is a bit different than federal medicaid.

Does the age matters in determing the Medicaid benefit.. I am looking for my mom who is a widow @ age 70

Because you signed the I864 your income is included in their calculation for mediciad

Pregnancy is an emergency situation, I just didn't mention this earlier since he was referring to his parents and I figured they wouldn't be producing any additional offspring. You cannot be denied for emergencies. There is a gray area as to where a pregnancy is allotted; if it is to the immigrant or to the USC child.

JohnL is right . I don't know why are you trying to create your own assumptions here. This is from a government website http://www.uscis.gov/news/fact-sheets/public-charge-fact-sheet .

I don't know how much knowledge you have with some legal words like MUST AND MAY if you read ''government statements'' they use these words often, which are important words. If a person or a none US citizen (GC holder) is not eligible for public benefits, they will get denied, Period. Those employees sitting/working for state or FEDs are not that dumb they will make sure NOT to grant you ''by law'' if you are not qualify, If they grant benefits and later find out you were not qualify ''specially with Medicaid - Health care'' sure, they will make sure you pay them back BUT that is a LONG and expensive process. I don't know how wealthy you are but almost everyone on this website are on average income. One medical bill could be someone's entire year income. If the governor try to come and claim that one bill from one of us (maybe not you) it is almost IMPOSSIBLE. If a wealthy person like William Henry Gates try to claim public benefits, again I am only talking about healthcare here, The government will go out and use the word MUST and have him pay back. I am not here to encourage or discourage anyone, Just thinking positive, that's all.

For some immigrants the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) (formerly the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization Services [iNS]) requires an Affidavit of Support (I-864). An Affidavit of Support is a USCIS form signed by an immigrant’s sponsor. In the Affidavit of Support, the sponsor promises to financially support the immigrant if the USCIS allows the immigrant into the country. Presently, neither sponsor deeming nor sponsor liability is being used in the New York State Medicaid Program. The sponsor’s income is not currently counted toward the immigrant applying for health coverage, nor is New York State requiring sponsors to repay Medicaid for services used by the immigrant. However, NYS Medicaid may implement these provisions at a future date.
