Green Card holder pregnancy insurance

Colorado does not take into account assets for Medicaid but i would imagine Florida does,.

But it would be repayable so the the child would effectively end up paying for it, slightly amusing.

Respectfully-- you are completely and utterly wrong here!!!!

It's a federal mandate for MAGI (modified adjusted gross income) for medicaid plans under 55..... this was part of ACA.

States needed file SPA (State Plan Amendments) to keep the funding flowing from the federal side.

FL is part of the U.S. and subject to the ACA.

Above 55 are generally still non-MAGI -- meaning Assets count..

REPAYABLE BY CHILDREN? No way ---- that's only 55+ with the estate attachments....... under 55 there is no recovery on children...

on some states there is potential recovery to joint sponsors though.

Long and short of it come November 1 he needs to apply for insurance through the ACA. It might be a long, hard process as it was for my father-in-law but we eventually succeeded.

1. All states have emergency medicaid for any status. Federal law.

2. Some states offer limited-scope PRE-NATAL + DELIVERY program by immigration status either by SPA to HHS - or by a separate state plan.

varies too widely. no set answer.

3. 16 states offer LPR < 5 years (non-refugee/etc) PRE-NATAL, DELIVERY, POST to 60 days Medicaid as per CHIPRA s214 (16 states).. No deeming/No billback as per federal law and states are banned from trying to recovery section 214 funds !!!!

4. Some states cover pregnant and non-pregnant LPR under 5 years using State/Local funds to make up where federal funds don't cover....... and some of these states cover PRWORA96 statuses.... and some go much much further...1 even allows approved I-130 pending consulary processing full access to facilitate visitors and undocumented with immigrant petitions pending from family members........

1. Not Florida. Visitors are not permitted emergency medicaid

>>Scope of conversation was about a diversity lotto winner who became Lawful Permanent Resident in FL though so therefore residency in Florida >> is established (presumed) from the OP's comments.

Since you mention it---- let's discuss your point though..

1. PRWORA 1996 relegates non-qualified aliens to emergency services (Emergency Medicaid) ... and each state tweaks their programs and standards a bit by filing SPA's with HHS.

2. PRWORA 1996 allows states to define residency --- which is where some can be trickier than others. State definitions are often related to physical presence over time and/or domicile. Undocumented and overstays are generally resident in most of their respective states - but without a qualified immigration status.

So sometimes visitor doesn't mean B1/B2 visitor --- but a person who stayed for 30 days or 60 days or 181 days in last 360 days or 60 days with intent to stay ... etc. each state defines the "residency" section.... but "visitor" and "residency" are different.

I don't know FL definitions and I haven't read their SPA. You've peaked my curiosity though..

Worst case though-- EMTALA Statute from 1986 would cover many medical emergencies as walk-in to ER for any human who arrived at an ER in the United States.

Mexican citizens needing FREE DIALYSIS will often drive into U.S regularly (using their visa) for FREE TREATMENT at any ER under EMTALA. ER's in border states see this regularly.

YUP - YUP - YUP - He needs to signup at HEALTHCARE.GOV or call them up and do it on the phone with them.

the verification for online application is tricky for people without a Credit Bureau as HHS outsources the Verification and it uses credit bureau derived data! They sometimes get stuck for manual verification with new socials/new immigrants without established credit. There is a middle tier phone/voice verify with a 3rd party provider available as a middle step before true manual verification.
