Covered California/MediCal and AOS

[KhmerAmerican562 0]

So under the affordable care act, it looks like my wife may qualify to be covered, as her AOS is pending.  Under the "Welfare Reform Act" stated on form I-864, she will not be considered a "Public Charge"?

 

Brief History:

I was a single father living abroad for 8 years.  I moved my son back to the states for school and I was notified that He and I qualified for MediCal under Covered California, so I got us both covered, since I didn't have any financial record in America.

I left my son with my mom for about a year because I had to return back to my fiance, to prepare for the I-129f K1 Visa.  

We are all back in America now going through the AOS  process.  We have been here for almost a year but I didn't land a job until about 8 months ago, so my earnings for 2018 wasn't that much.

I have a joint sponsor to help with the process.  Anyways,  I would like to get my wife covered for the time being, just incase of an emergency.  Please note that the goal is not to stay dependent on the government.  I just have 8 years to make up for, while being away.  I never thought about getting her under Medical until I read Part 8 on form I-864,  would getting her covered under Medical affect her AOS eligibility?  

Again, our goal is to get situated and financially stable as a couple and not rely on the government forever.   My wife and son are solely dependent on me for now, so I can't afford proper health coverage for all of us but once my wife's AOS goes through and is able to work, then a 2nd income will definitely help.
