What happens if you have a severe chronic condition or major accident, you can’t qualify for Medi-Cal as you are not lawfully present, must a hospital treat you if you show up in the ER Emergency Room?
You could get deported!
In an emergency, hospitals, by law – EMTALA – must treat any patient in the U.S. until he or she is stabilized , regardless of the patient’s immigration status or ability to pay.
Yet, when it comes time for the hospitals to discharge these patients, the same standard doesn’t apply. Though hospitals are legally obligated to find suitable places to discharge patients (for example, to their homes, rehabilitation facilities or nursing homes), their insurance status makes all the difference. After reaching the patient’s family in Mexico, and discussing issues with the Mexican consulate, the case manager began making travel arrangements to a rehabilitation hospital in Mexico. Medical air transport to another country is an expensive proposition — roughly $50,000, depending on the equipment needed and the distance to the receiving facility in the patient’s home nation. From the hospital’s point of view, it was easy to see that this large one-time expense would be worthwhile. The transfer to Mexico would put a stop to the indefinite, uncompensated costs of continued hospitalization. Further, the transfer would open up the patient’s bed to a new (and presumably insured) patient. NPR 4.9.2016 *
Some hospitals have been deporting illegal immigrants even though the U.S. government is the only authority that can perform this action. Medical repatriation is considered a human rights violation mainly because many of these hospitals act as “unauthorized immigration officers.” Medical news today 4.23.2014 * Forbes 2.26.2018 *

FAQ
Medicare – No legal resident
- Question I’m 65 now and have worked and paid taxes into Medicare for 50 years. I’m not lawfully present. Can I still enroll in Medicare and not risk getting deported?
- Answer I’m not an immigration attorney. I don’t see how though that taking Medicare, that you’ve paid into would be considered a Public Charge.
- Somewhere else, we looked up about Medicare and not being lawful…. You can’t get Medicare if you are not legal.
- For purposes of determining inadmissibility, “public charge” means an individual who is likely to become primarily dependent on the government for subsistence, as demonstrated by either the receipt of public cash assistance for income maintenance or institutionalization for long-term care at government expense.
- What happens to benefit payment if a beneficiary is in the U.S. but is not a U.S. citizen or lawfully present alien?
• Payment to a claimant entitled to monthly title II - ***Disabilty SSA.Gov ***** Disability Benefits.org
- and title XVIII
- ***Medicare A & B Very Technical SSA.gov ******** Medicare & You
- benefits who meets all factors of entitlement will be suspended for any month that he/she is in the U.S. but has not established his/her U.S. citizenship/lawful presence for a full calendar month.
- • Payment of monthly title II and title XVIII benefits for periods of retroactive entitlement that fall prior to 12/1/96 will be suspended if the title II and title XVIII application was filed 12/1/96 or later.
- • Payments to a title II and title XVIII beneficiary suspended retroactively for failing to establish U.S. citizenship or lawful presence are overpayments subject to the rules of due process. Action to recover the overpaid amount will be taken in accordance with normal recovery procedures. The overpaid person must be given notice of the overpayment, the proposed recovery action, and the right to reconsideration, waiver, personal conference, or a different rate of adjustment (or refund by installment). (See GN 02201.001 for an explanation of processing overpayments.)
- • Section 5561 of the Balanced Budget Act (BBA) prohibits payment for Medicare services rendered to an alien who is not lawfully present in the U.S. It is important to differentiate between the U.S. lawful presence requirement prohibiting “payment” for Medicare services rendered to an alien who is not lawfully present in the U.S. and policy in HI 00801.191D.2. indicating that there is no U.S. residency requirement for determining Medicare “eligibility.” Process a Medicare claim, including an End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) claim if all factors of entitlement are met, but the U.S. lawful present requirement is not met. CMS is responsible for not paying Medicare services rendered to an alien who is not lawfully present in the U.S. secure.ssa.gov

Immigrants to USA must have Health Insurance or prove a huge bank account
President Trump signed a proclamation late Friday 10.4.2019 barring legal immigrants who cannot prove they will have “approved health care coverage” or the means to pay for it within 30 days of their arrival to the United States. Politico *
Judges Ruling Blocks this Proclamation KTLA * Politico *
Trump said uninsured individuals are a burden on the health care industry and U.S. taxpayers.
“Immigrants who enter this country should not further saddle our health care system, and subsequently American taxpayers, with higher costs,” Trump declared.
Beginning Nov. 3, only immigrants covered by approved health insurance or those who can show they can pay for “reasonably foreseeable medical costs” will be allowed entry into the U.S.
The announcement affects immigrants applying for visas from overseas. It doesn’t apply to non-citizen children of U.S. citizens. Refugees and asylum-seekers are also exempt.
However, it would apply to the spouses and parents of U.S. citizens and the immediate family members of lawful permanent residents. NPR *

Presidential Proclamation on the
Suspension of Entry of Immigrants
Healthcare providers and taxpayers bear substantial costs in paying for medical expenses incurred by people who lack health insurance or the ability to pay for their healthcare. Hospitals and other providers often administer care to the uninsured without any hope of receiving reimbursement from them. The costs associated with this care are passed on to the American people in the form of higher taxes, higher premiums, and higher fees for medical services. In total, uncompensated care costs — the overall measure of unreimbursed services that hospitals give their patients — have exceeded $35 billion in each of the last 10 years. These costs amount to approximately $7 million on average for each hospital in the United States, and can drive hospitals into insolvency. Beyond uncompensated care costs, the uninsured strain Federal and State government budgets through their reliance on publicly funded programs, which ultimately are financed by taxpayers.
Beyond imposing higher costs on hospitals and other healthcare infrastructure, uninsured individuals often use emergency rooms to seek remedies for a variety of non-emergency conditions, causing overcrowding and delays for those who truly need emergency services. This non-emergency usage places a large burden on taxpayers, who reimburse hospitals for a portion of their uncompensated emergency care costs.
While our healthcare system grapples with the challenges caused by uncompensated care, the United States Government is making the problem worse by admitting thousands of aliens who have not demonstrated any ability to pay for their healthcare costs. Notably, data show that lawful immigrants are about three times more likely than United States citizens to lack health insurance. Immigrants who enter this country should not further saddle our healthcare system, and subsequently American taxpayers, with higher costs.
The United States has a long history of welcoming immigrants who come lawfully in search of brighter futures. We must continue that tradition while also addressing the challenges facing our healthcare system, including protecting both it and the American taxpayer from the burdens of uncompensated care. Continuing to allow entry into the United States of certain immigrants who lack health insurance or the demonstrated ability to pay for their healthcare would be detrimental to these interests.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a)) and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, hereby find that the unrestricted immigrant entry into the United States of persons described in section 1 of this proclamation would, except as provided for in section 2 of this proclamation, be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and that their entry should be subject to certain restrictions, limitations, and exceptions. I therefore hereby proclaim the following:
Section 1. Suspension and Limitation on Entry.
(a) The entry into the United States as immigrants of aliens who will financially burden the United States healthcare system is hereby suspended and limited subject to section 2 of this proclamation. An alien will financially burden the United States healthcare system unless the alien will be covered by approved health insurance, as defined in subsection (b) of this section, within 30 days of the alien’s entry into the United States, or unless the alien possesses the financial resources to pay for reasonably foreseeable medical costs.
(b) Approved health insurance means coverage under any of the following plans or programs:
(i) an employer-sponsored plan, including a retiree plan, association health plan, and coverage provided by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985;
(ii) an unsubsidized health plan offered in the individual market within a State;
So, Covered CA with subsidies, won’t cut it.
(iii) a short-term limited duration health policy effective for a minimum of 364 days — or until the beginning of planned, extended travel outside the United States;
(iv) a catastrophic plan;
(v) a family member’s plan;
(vi) a medical plan under chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, including coverage under the TRICARE program;
(vii) a visitor health insurance plan that provides adequate coverage for medical care for a minimum of 364 days — or until the beginning of planned, extended travel outside the United States;
(viii) a medical plan under the Medicare program; or
(ix) any other health plan that provides adequate coverage for medical care [MEC? Minimum Essential Coverage] as determined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services or his designee.
(c) For persons over the age of 18, approved health insurance does not include coverage under the Medicaid [Medi-Cal] program.
See also our webpage on Public Charge
Sec. 2. Scope of Suspension and Limitation on Entry.
(a) Section 1 of this proclamation shall apply only to aliens seeking to enter the United States pursuant to an immigrant visa.
(b) Section 1 of this proclamation shall not apply to:
(i) any alien holding a valid immigrant visa issued before the effective date of this proclamation;
(ii) any alien seeking to enter the United States pursuant to a Special Immigrant Visa, in either the SI or SQ classification, who is also a national of Afghanistan or Iraq, or his or her spouse and children, if any;
(iii) any alien who is the child of a United States citizen or who is seeking to enter the United States pursuant to an IR-2, IR-3, IR-4, IH-3, or IH-4 visa;
(iv) any alien seeking to enter the United States pursuant to an IR-5 visa, provided that the alien or the alien’s sponsor demonstrates to the satisfaction of the consular officer that the alien’s healthcare will not impose a substantial burden on the United States healthcare system;
(v) any alien seeking to enter the United States pursuant to a SB-1 visa;
(vi) any alien under the age of 18, except for any alien accompanying a parent who is also immigrating to the United States and subject to this proclamation;
(vii) any alien whose entry would further important United States law enforcement objectives, as determined by the Secretary of State or his designee based on a recommendation of the Attorney General or his designee; or
(viii) any alien whose entry would be in the national interest, as determined by the Secretary of State or his designee on a case-by-case basis.
(c) Consistent with subsection (a) of this section, this proclamation does not affect the entry of aliens entering the United States through means other than immigrant visas, including lawful permanent residents. Further, nothing in this proclamation shall be construed to affect any individual’s eligibility for asylum, refugee status, withholding of removal, or protection under the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, consistent with the laws and regulations of the United States.
Sec. 3. Implementation and Enforcement.
(a) An alien subject to this proclamation must establish that he or she meets its requirements, to the satisfaction of a consular officer, before the adjudication and issuance of an immigrant visa. The Secretary of State may establish standards and procedures governing such determinations.
(b) The review required by subsection (a) of this section is separate and independent from the review and determination required by other statutes, regulations, or proclamations in determining the admissibility of an alien.
(c) An alien who circumvents the application of this proclamation through fraud, willful misrepresentation of a material fact, or illegal entry shall be a priority for removal by the Department of Homeland Security.
Sec. 4. Reports on the Financial Burdens Imposed by Immigrants on the Healthcare System.
(a) The Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the heads of other appropriate agencies, shall submit to the President a report regarding:
(i) the continued necessity of and any adjustments that may be warranted to the suspension and limitation on entry in section 1 of this proclamation; and
(ii) other measures that may be warranted to protect the integrity of the United States healthcare system.
(b) The report required by subsection (a) of this section shall be submitted within 180 days of the effective date of this proclamation, with subsequent reports submitted annually thereafter throughout the effective duration of the suspension and limitation on entry set forth in section 1 of this proclamation. If the Secretary of State, in consultation with the heads of other appropriate executive departments and agencies, determines that circumstances no longer warrant the continued effectiveness of the suspension or limitation on entry set forth in section 1 of this proclamation or that circumstances warrant additional measures, the Secretary shall immediately so advise the President.
(c) The Secretary of State and Secretary of Health and Human Services shall coordinate any policy recommendations associated with the reports described in subsection (a) of this section.
Sec. 5. Severability.
It is the policy of the United States to enforce this proclamation to the maximum extent possible to advance the interests of the United States. Accordingly:
(a) if any provision of this proclamation, or the application of any provision to any person or circumstance, is held to be invalid, the remainder of the proclamation and the application of its other provisions to any other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby; and
(b) if any provision of this proclamation, or the application of any provision to any person or circumstance, is held to be invalid because of the failure to follow certain procedures, the relevant executive branch officials shall implement those procedural requirements to conform with existing law and with any applicable court orders.
Sec. 6. General Provisions.
(a) Nothing in this proclamation shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) United States Government obligations under applicable international agreements;
(ii) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(iii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This proclamation shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This proclamation is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
Sec. 7. Effective Date.
This proclamation is effective at 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on November 3, 2019.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand nineteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fourth.

I have a Mexican Passport and USA Permanent Residency Green Card. Do I need a visa to visit Peru and return to USA?
Do I need a Tourist Visa for Peru?
In general citizens of the countries in the listing below do NOT have to apply for a visa at an embassy or consulate before entering Peru.
Below listed countries can get a tourist visa at airport immigrations or any other Peruvian border without applying for it at an embassy or consulate
North America: Citizens of the United States, Canada and Mexico
Travelers need a passport valid at least half a year with at least 2 free pages in the visa section when entering Peru.
The maximum stay in Peru on a tourist visa is 183 days (per year)!
You can’t extent your tourist visa once you entered Peru!
foreign visitors must have a return or onward ticket /passage when entering the country. While this law isn’t enforced by Peruvian immigrations, airlines often demand to see a return or onward ticket when checking in for a flight to Peru. https://www.limaeasy.com/peru-info/peruvian-visa#tourist-visa-peru

me and my wife are only visitors with tourist visa,
she is currently pregnant in last months,
my income in another country is about 70 thousand US dollar per year.
she is not working, family size 4.
so can we apply for any option for maternity services,
because it is very expensive in California,
$70k when looking at the Covered CA Income Chart appears to qualify your wife for the MCAP Medi-Cal Access Program – Pregnant Women
However, all the programs, private direct coverage, Covered CA and Medi-Cal require permanent residency, which it doesn’t appear you have under a USA Visitor Visa’s nor does it meet Federal or State Requirements 45 CFR 155.305 intends to reside or seeking employment Our webpage on Residency – CA Franchise Tax Board # 1031
You might try International Travel Policies – but be careful of Pre X existing condition clauses
How about going back to your home country? I hope it’s safe and not war-torn.
I’m not an immigration attorney, nor salaried Medi-Cal eligibility worker, you might want to follow the links above to double check.
I appreciate your comprehensive and conclusive answer, still I am searching for travel or international insurance with maternity coverage for current pregnancy, because we have twins and I preferred to receive care here in USA.
Did you click on the link and review what we have with Insubuy?
I’m checking, but I doubt I’ll find anything.
What kind of a premium would you be willing to pay, being as there is such a short time till delivery, the estimated cost for twins is $105K per CBSNews.com citing the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
While the ACA – Obamacare is mandated to cover maternity, there is still the Medical Loss Ratio which means the Insurance Company keeps 20% of the premium and pays out 80%.
Thank you sir for detailed explanation. Appreciate your compassion.
I will arrange for self payment.
Thanks again
LA Times article on Chinese come in and have their babies
But it didn’t really mention anything about how they’re paying for the maternity cost

If you want subsidies in Covered CA, send us proof of her lawful presence. If you can pay full pop – we can do it outside of Covered CA at open enrollment. Click here for quotes.
