True, but Medi-Cal does not use any federal funds (for new immigrants) so it's not an issue.

Where does it say it is a requirement for ROC? Barring it being a requirement, it is not considered. Even more precisely, it's only a factor for those being considered for admission. ROC is not a benefit for which one seeks admission.
I wrote up a more detailed explanation in another thread recently: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/739713-roc-cares-act-public-charge/?tab=comments#comment-10142924
 
Edit:
It appears you raised the issue here as well, and got similar responses, including a link to the USCIS policy manual explicitly covering these topics.

Hello everyone,
 
I hope someone can help me here because my attorney is not replying due to the circumstances and i need to make a decision.
Long story short; I work in the hospitality industry and we are temporary laid-off until further notice. Our employer told us we can continue with the coverage with one of the 
plan of covered california. Does anyone knows if it will be consider as a public charge? I will be paying for it it's just discounted and it is not medi-cal (California medicaid).
 
Do you think that it will affect my I751 petition in the future to remove the condition of my residency?
 
Please if some green card holders has some info I would really appreciate it!
 
Thanks in advance everyone and be safe!

I received the letter on November 9, I did a early walk-in on November 12 to get it done and over with.
 
The original appointment was November 22. So almost 2 weeks from receiving the letter until the original appointment. 

First, do you need an attorney? An attorney can only work in the state they are licensed in so chances may be slim you find one who can practice in both states and I can’t even imagine what they would charge to go out of state for the interview.
You can move during the process you have to remember to update your address with USCIS. If you are filing with a divorce waver you should probably initiate the divorce ASAP as it sounds like your expiration is coming up soon.

Medi-Cal is unique in that it is funded by the state for new immigrants. Federal funds, which are bared for the first 5 years, are not used. NY is the only other state with a similar program for new immigrants.
Also, public charge is not an ROC issue.

Hello BLM,
 
I spoke to an attorney and he told me covered california will not affect my conditional green card removal. Medi-cal is a bit different from Covered Ca because I believe is for people who do not have an income and I also believe is free for those people. Covered Ca is a health plan for which you still pay for it but it is discounted. If your husband is still working I think you can get a plan from covered ca through your husband so it will cover both of you. 
I think you could be eligible but I do not if medi-cal will affect your future removal. As for covered ca i believe it will not affect you. But you could book a free consultation with a immigration attorney to get a clear answer. There is a website called avvo.com and you can find many lawyers in your area and book a free consultation with one.
 
I hope this helped 
 
 
Best luck and be safe 
 

Nope, Covered California won't affect anything regarding your immigration.
