insurance and green card

[thiagu75]

We are planning on filing a green card application for parents who are on a visitor visa without proper health insurance coverage. Most visitor health insurance have ridiculously low limits of coverage with significant out of pocket expenses. They may potentially qualify for medi-cal by the State of California. Can obtaining insurance via medi-cal (which is state sponsored) interfere with the processing of their green card application?

I don't think it will since GC holders are eligible for it. There are some FAQs here on this if you haven't already seen it: http://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi...FAQs2014b.aspx

If they remove the link from the forum just search "medi-cal eligibility for green card holders" in Google and it comes up as first result.
