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？
-ObamaCare does not belong to "Public charge". So, there is not a problem for your parents to purchase it.
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。
-Because your parents have no working history/record in US, they have to pay the premium for ObamaCare (no reimbursement from US Government). The people who work in US such as US citizen and green card holder with lower salary/income also need to pay the premium for ObamaCare first, and then claim some reimbursement from US Government when they file tax return if their employer does not provide the health insurance benefit. If the employer provides the health insurance benefit and you don't purchase it, and you choose ObamaCare, then you can not get the reimbursement from US Government even if your salary/income is very low.
So, it is impossible for your parents not to pay the premium for ObamaCare.
