Very interesting that it wasn't reported in the mainstream news media. I googled it and nothing came up.

It was mostly a conservative issue so the story was primarily confined to FOX News, New York Post, New York Daily News, and other right leaning news organizations. I guess I must have seen the story while flipping through FOX News.

Maybe it was the Daily Show or the Colbert Report. After all, Colbert is a far right conservative so that would be something that he would totally be against.

Re: Advise - Moving my Mum from the UK to USA
NY is an exception to the rule.
Part of the affidavit of support that the financial sponsor signs, when you do the AOS is that recipient won't collect any federal means tested benefits and that the feds will be able to go after the sponsor to collect the money if they do.
The thing is, the feds rarely do and NY said if the feds can't be bothered then they will not enforce it, thus you can claim the benefits in NY.
Thing is, I have no idea how this would play out if the recipient were to then apply for US citizenship. Though at the age some of the folks are talking here, that could well be a moot issue....hopefully for you it won't be moot or a issue.

That being said ... here is a link from the health exchange which explains more ... http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care...dm/04adm-7.pdf
"ELIGIBILITY OF IMMIGRANTS FOR MEDICAID BENEFITS: QUALIFIED
IMMIGRANTS
As a result of the Aliessa v. Novello court decision, all qualified
immigrants regardless of their date of entry into the United States,
can be eligible for Medicaid provided they meet all other
eligibility requirements. The only difference is that Federal
Financial Participation (FFP) should be claimed for some groups but
must not be claimed for others until they have resided in the United
States as qualified immigrants for five years. "
"During their first five years in
the U.S. with a status as qualified immigrant, FFP is not available.
The cost of their Medicaid coverage will be born solely by State
and local shares (50% State/50% local). Once a qualified immigrant
in this group has resided in the United States as a qualified
immigrant for a period of five years, FFP will become available.
This means the federal government will pay a share of their Medicaid
costs. The shares are generally split 50%Federal/25%State/25%local. "

Re: Advise - Moving my Mum from the UK to USA
Just a quick update, not directly related to the thread but may be of help to others.
My son applied for Medi-Cal (the California Medicaid) as he was losing his coverage through my husband's employer. He has been a LPR for 5 years. He applied online and appears to have been accepted. There is only one doctor local to him who is accepting patients so that is who he is registering with
So the process seemed fairly straightforward, of course he hasn't used it yet.

I'm not sure how that part works. I assume the PCP would refer to a hospital that accepted it.
