Petitioning my parents but...

[N.pie 45]

Hello,

 

I recently acquired my citizenship and I wanted to bring my parents here, so I can take care of them. However, I'm having trouble looking at the costs for health coverage for seniors aged 65 and above. I'm currently living in Pennsylvania, and I read some discussions that say that they would not be qualified for Pennie or Medicare. I am trying to look for other health coverage, but I'm only seeing those for 65 and below. Does anyone know any health plan that I can enroll them in?

 

Thanks

The ACA website can’t cope with someone over 65 .. automatically assumes they the applicant is eligible for Medicare.. but you can call and speak with an ACA navigator who can talk you through the process

ACA is available for immigrants, but could be very expensive.

From what I have seen, it is not terrible if the immigrant does not have any income.  I know of a few cases where the relative was in their late 50s, the copay was about $20 a month.  Granted this was for an HMO (PPOs were $200+, and most people like PPOs)
