My mom would join me as a new immigrant. I want to ensure she has access to a doctor, emergencies and prescriptions if need be. She is 65 yrs. I believe as new immigrant she does not qualify for Medicare nor can purchase Medicare (or Medicaid) coverage, Part A (emergencies) or Part B (doc visits) through BlueCross or other big Providers. Obviously she is excluded from buying a regular health plan due to her age. I believe my employer would as well not cover her (as a dependent), so:
a) what are my options?
b) Does Pres. Obama's health care law (although effective 2014) provide a viable option to purchase health coverage for such new immigrants?
