官网--Affidavit of Support (state.gov) public charge 和 means- tested public benefit 适用的阶段是不同的。移民以后看的是后者， 不是前者。另外， emergency medicaid 应该不包括在means-tested public benefit 里， 可以申请。 Step 4: Complete Affidavit of Support An Affidavit of Support, also called the Form I-864, is a document an individual signs to accept financial responsibility for the applicant who is coming to live in the United States. The person who signs the Affidavit of Support is also called the “sponsor.” The petitioner must complete Form I-864; however if the petitioner’s income is insufficient, a joint-sponsor may agree to also complete an I-864 on the applicant’s behalf. An Affidavit of Support is legally enforceable. The sponsor''''s financial responsibility usually lasts until the applicant either becomes a U.S. citizen, or can be credited with 40 qualifying quarters of work (usually 10 years) under the Social Security Act. By signing Form I-864, the petitioner (including any joint sponsor(s)) is agreeing to use their resources, if necessary, to financially support the beneficiary and any dependent(s).

链接里是2022年底出台的最新的public charge 政策，可以读一下。里面明确指出medi-cal, 也就是healthcare 不是public charge。
https://www.chhs.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/CalHHSPublicChargeGuideUPDATED_Sep22.pdf
有没有资料来源？
那旅游签也可以过来申请看病了。 为什么国内还怕旅游签过来没钱看癌症？只能去做clinic trial？
有否官方链接？
我认识的就有，朋友的家人癌症晚期 一到加州就办了紧急白卡看上了医生，没有绿卡，因为已经是晚期 最后就是各种止痛，提高生活质量的治疗，老人说这是他做的最对的决定。在国内，真的不敢想会是什么样的经历。
随便Google一下 medi-CAL eligibility 就知道了。
医保也报UBER，是有前提的。 比如你身体很不好没法开车，或者没法乘坐公共交通，等等。所以需要让医生首肯。 https://www.blueshieldca.com/en/bsp/medi-cal-members/benefits/transportation-information
那朋友的家人是什么签证过来的？
那经常国内说到美国看癌症，怕没钱。 这不旅游签就行了？

国内的医生态度真的，就把病人当羔羊，哪怕是找了关系也没有好脸色，除非是当权者，医患关系无比紧张
旅游签证就能办白卡？
如果突然确诊了癌症，这是在做假设？
国内的顶级资源是不是也没那么难？以前协和的专家号也就600多一个，可能不同专科的不一样，但是估计1 2万也能挂到吧？国内医生应该是比美国的靠谱，但是药应该不行，好多好药没过专利期国内医保是不报的，但是很多常见的癌症是不是都有印度仿药可以买？当然有些大分子针剂听说印度做不出来，真的得具体看
一是根据报税收入定价格，二是产品不同价格肯定不同
Medi-cal 就是mean tested benefit 的一种。而且我发的那个public charge也专门说了移民之后medi-cal也是不算public charge的。我问过社工，medi-cal绝对不会影响申请绿卡，这个有加州移民律师也是确认过的，而且身边太多朋友给绿卡父母都申请了白卡，完全没有问题。当然你可以选择不相信律师也不相信我说的。我只是把我知道的信息分享给楼主，希望对她家的情况有所帮助。

探亲签证过来的。对啊 这确实是可以操作的呀，只要能在加州，纽约州这些免费医保的地方安顿下来。不过不知道旅游签证的话能待多久呢？不然黑下来了又是另一个问题，除非打定主意就黑下来了。探亲签证可以申请延期的吧。旅游签证就不行了。
如果是旅游签，即使不能给延期，黑下来也无所谓呀。 按照你的说法，illegal immigrants也能在加州申请免费医疗。
很多癌症晚期，一开始人看着也是健康的。完全有机会飞机飞到加州来。
谢谢信息。
医院都有翻译服务，可以打电话叫翻译服务，诊所也有
不管怎样，先办绿卡和白卡没错，至少多一种选择，对于身体不好需要照顾的老人，政府也有福利，这个要具体问题具体分析，遇到了就知道了。总之，我家老人对这边的医疗服务很满意，他们从国内一线城市过来。
我家人最近病了，才真正体会到美国看病的难处。瓶颈主要是在医生那里。想要约见到合适的医生，简直难于上青天。很多医生约见新病人的时间都排到2，3个月以后。我这还不是啥急病。后来朋友圈里问了问，才知道还有人阑尾炎拖到最后穿孔的。有些在国内是很小的事情，在这边可能给你拖个半死。
但是癌症这类的比较需要技术的疑难大病，有些方面美国可能技术更强。胃癌可能不是。毕竟华人得胃癌比例远高于白人群体。
是的从2024年开始。这个我也是被科普然后给我爸妈办了的。旅游签，一个月就批下来了。官网上说将来他们如果用到长期护理的话个人财产就会被政府接收。未来遗产也有可能被政府追讨白卡付出的医疗花费。我觉得也很合理，毕竟白卡就是给低收入人的福利。
哎呦妈呀所以这是下的一步大棋喽？
Lz 在加州纽约大城市吗？美国其他地方要找翻译也不不容易吧
而且拿绿卡的话要每年住半年也不容易吧
LZ后来说了本来想给爸妈办过来，去做体检看看需要带什么药，结果检出个晴天霹雳，所以应该是体检检查出癌症了现在纠结留在国内治还是过来治。
请问一下需要准备什么材料呢？如果是父母退休金资料，是不是需要公证中文英文两份
楼里说国内治疗好的或者美国治疗好的都忽略了一个因素，就是每个人的结论都是基于自己（父母）的情况或者身边朋友的情况。其实每个人病不一样，病情不一样，在国内能得到的就医条件不一样，在美国的就医条件虽然不会差太远，但基于前三个因素，实际的操作和体验也会不一样。所以这个真的很难凭自己或朋友的体验下结论哪边好。 如果在国内一二线大城市，除非是罕见病或者国内没有药，很多治疗真的不见得美国更好。绝大多数癌症治疗现在只要确诊了，基本治疗方法都差不多。国内一二线城市的大医院专家还是紧跟最前沿的治疗方法的。如果需要手术，我真心觉得国内大医院医生经验和技巧不会比美国医生差，因为病例太多他们都是熟练工。且不说买机票飞过来，办卡，联系各种医生看病，相关检查做完等出结果确诊，最后入院治疗这一套搞完要多长时间（实际操作绝对不会很快，但很多病拖不得的），还要考虑老人受不受得了国际长途飞机的折腾和时差水土的适应。病人能得到好的休息对病情也是非常重要的。当然现在国内大医院手术很多也要排队，这个就要具体情况具体处理了。如果国内是农村或者小县城，医疗条件实在太差，也没条件去大城市求医，病情也等得起，父母身体能支撑长途折腾，那或许可以考虑来美治疗。 最后想说，病人能不能跟医护有效沟通，亲人能不能时时陪护在身边帮着跟医护交流和反馈病情，两边的医疗规程和规范差别（美国所有看病和病情交流都必须本人在场而国内亲人可以帮看门诊咨询，甚至有些家庭怕病人精神崩溃会选择不告诉病人实际病情这个在美国是绝对不可能的）这些很多一开始忽略的地方最后可能都对实际治疗和体验有不小影响，也需要考量。 不论什么选择，祝LZ父母治疗顺利。
恩，这个需要考虑啊。加州欠债那么多，分分钟拿华人开刀，因为大家有存款啊！美国的医疗没有保险，倾家荡产吧。 就是有保险，一个急诊单差点没把我吓死。
癌症已经查出来了，保险公司会卖这个保险吗？
费用是多少啊？
good question, 我也想知道！
为啥不会，Obama care 规定不可以拒绝preexisting conditions
他们只是不想花钱而已 他们不在乎医生的水平 只在乎能不能免费住单间
