Yes, it could be a problem.  The CO will look at the totality of the petitioner’s financial situation (of which health care is a large component, because it is so expensive in the US) to make a determination about public charge.

 

Plus- honestly?  She really needs it.  Health expenses are the leading cause  of bankruptcies in the US.  What will she do if she gets sick or hurt?

If she uses Medicare she is a public charge.

I believe you mean "Medicaid". It's also known by different names in each state (e.g., Apple Health in state of Washington).

If you move, that would be a qualifying event as well, and can be used to get ACA insurance.
