求教：用奧巴馬care給老人新移民買醫保

在賓州，父母分別65和72，在等綠卡。做醫保功課的時候看到奧巴馬care官網這段話

這裏所謂的public charge就是means-tested benefits吧。就是說通過奧巴馬care花錢可以給父母買醫保？我查了一下，兩人一個月一共800-2000，而且是這裏最大的醫保公司，我覺得要是可以買到的話還是很不錯的。雖然必須一年一年的買，但是每個月2000要是能買到家人團聚和解決醫療的後顧之憂，還是很值得的。就是不知道我理解的對不對。

還有，因為我覺得在填寫家庭收入的時候，其實應該是把我們的收入都算進去的，所以才會這麽貴，不知道是不是應該這樣做。如果按他們國內退休金來算，Premium就是0，那不就成了Mediaid一類的東西了麽。

Lawfully present immigrants can apply for health coverage. Immigration information entered into the Marketplace will be used for administration of the Marketplace and insurance affordability programs only. People who aren’t applying for health coverage don’t need to provide their citizenship or immigration status. Use of coverage obtained through the Marketplace or insurance affordability programs won’t affect a person who’s in the process of becoming a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) and won’t be considered a public charge. A public charge is 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.
