我周围的同事的探亲父母都没在美国工作过，美国都向他们提供了几乎免费的单人一室一厅，两口是两室一厅。公费医疗更不用提了，因为是老人，经常去急诊，多少年从来没见过账单，从来没听说急诊时间长什么的抱怨。
吃饭不但免费，而且政府派人送到室内，一天两顿。还有其他各种补助，就不一 一说了，令人发指的是有老人提出寂寞，美国政府还要花钱雇一个说中文的人每天陪聊天，后因为老人是绿卡才作罢，说这是公民穷人的福利，这是我第一次知道福利上公民和绿卡有区别。
有人问homeless 怎么来的？你问问MITBBS的老邱，纽约市政府给他有暖气的房子，他嫌同寝室的老黑看电视吵他睡觉，自己大雪天去睡桥洞，美国各地都有住够的homeless之家，还免费上网，一句话：美国的homeless 不是没地方住，是精神病。
天上不会掉馅饼，免费背后都有付费的人。
楼主说的那种移民的老人，很多都不是穷人，国内上万一个月的退休工资。
传言不可信。这要是真的，地铁上哪来那么多的无家可归者。
加州，纽约，还有那些？
做梦吧！探亲就给二室一厅。
要经过一系列：移民拿绿卡，排队老人院，大约加州，纽约这种地方才行！
两口子老人一室一厅，估计40平方米多，我去以前邻居的老人那里去过知道详细情况！
老人考过了公民、一个月大约1000美元生活费、交几十$的房租，几块钱的老式手机电话费，在烂区不过对老人无所谓了。
医疗是免费的白卡，很多医生医院不收的那种。
免费是免费，你个在美国上班的中产，要不是破产了，是不愿意住那种地方的。你要破产了，也确实不错的保障。
美国对穷人确实免费、保证活下去。穷人是大爷，这个意义上是对的。比中国五保户强点单有限。 要说为美国增加GDP的量，比中国五百户老人的对中国的增加量，应该多上千倍。
虽然楼主的例子我不太信，但是结论我同意。。。
美国很多homeless确实都是自愿的，政府是有shelter的。。。我记得以前说过，很多吸毒的人不想住shelter，觉得不自由。。。
穷人拿不到福利的，华人老人拿福利是因为子女能干，知道哪里有福利，有什么福利，会填表去申请
如果穷人知道怎样拿福利，去哪里申请，就不会是穷人啦
加州现在非法移民落地就可以申请白卡了。前段时间在home depot门口找老莫搬东西，随便问了一下，说上个月从萨尔瓦多刚过来，没有身份，看病就用白卡。
我一个朋友在palo alto的Stanford hospital 的ER等了4个小时才看上病，因为里面全是拿白卡的老莫在排队
另一个朋友父母身体不好，也接过来马上申请白卡，然后就找这边的心脏专科医生看，所有检查，药品，和治疗一分钱都没有出过。他跟我说他自己看病还要co pay，没想到父母福利比他自己都好多了。各个专科的医生都很好，基本都是斯坦福系统的，也不是传说的什么好医生不收白卡只能看差的
很多人来美国不是为了福利，而是工作机会和极低的所得税，很多发达国家的所得税比美国高很多，比如澳大利亚所得税高达37%
孙复旦，是因为（homeless）没有永久家庭住址，所以福利无处可寄
其实他可以租一间房子，有了mailing address，再慢慢申请福利好了
不过，disability福利好像有条件限制，需要在（不太远的）以前工作过之类的
LOL
不过孙博士现在这个状态，是没有华人愿意让他进家门住的
如果要帮他，可以分二步走
第一步，复旦校友替他弄一个mail address，他本人可以不住在里面（招人厌），然后就可以申请福利了
第二步，有了福利，就不会那么邋遢了，慢慢的就可以租住到不知情的华人家里（有些人出租房间的），只要精神病不再复发就没问题
这话说的到位！👍 没错！柿子就是捡软的捏！因为他们别无选择。
但也不是所有W-2 都倒霉！单职工 W-2 养一大家子就不会被剥削，非但不交税，每年还有补助金给子女，包括各种福利，总之，钱多就是你的错！就该被宰！穷人就是大爷，穷就有理！
"探亲父母都没在美国工作过，美国都向他们提供了几乎免费的单人一室一厅，两口是两室一厅。公费医疗更不用提了，因为是老人，经常去急诊，多少年从来没见过账单，从来没听说急诊时间长什么的抱怨。"
还有帝都来的父母， 一个月收好几万rmb的房租， 也住进了美国的免费两室一厅老年公寓
穷人真的只是非常basic的，不用羡慕穷人。还是有钱好。
单职工就不用交税了吗？你这是包含了很多隐藏条件吧？
我生活过的马萨诸塞和新泽西也都可以
你就继续胡说吧。这么好，那你为啥还工作，为啥还读书。直接躺平算了。
难怪加州交着全美最高的税
还是搞得一塌糊涂
跟我听说的差不多，需要公民才有资格申请福利，房子要排队很久，每月政府给900刀，免费接送去老人中心玩，其实也不错啦，福利很好了啊，毕竟都没给美国交过税……
单职工比如你挣年薪七八万，老婆不上班外加俩孩子，你自己算算还要不要交税！

主要是有文化的比较会看政府福利的会申，没文化真穷的天天打蓝领工没时间也不会看，不知道怎么申。便宜了某些假穷人，真都用到真穷人身上，W2 税也没白交。
很多无家可归者有精神疾病或者吸毒，有的是一种life style。。。
探亲老人肯定是子女在这边给申请绿卡了啊，不在国内等这里等似乎很快。有认识人就这么操作，过来了福利就有了。
我们南加小区中国老人多，最多的时候早上有20多人聚在一起早操。 才开始都是为了照顾接送孙子孙女上下学这种来的，时间长了，有一半喜欢就留下了，走的这个条路。还有一半忍受不了，有的办了绿卡也不要，回去再也不来了。
留下的基本上这条路。绿卡也可以申请，就是房子排队要很久，三年五年，但对于和子女住在一起接送孩子走路上下学的不是问题。有的最后努力背/重新学习英语单词被放水过了公民，是为了那个1000刀穷人补助。 最后看子女，有的老人只是周末去免费公寓点个卯，领取点快要过期的免费食宿，平时和子女住在一起。有的就被子女一脚踢走，也会过年这类接回来吃顿饭啥的。也有老人不喜欢那里（全是老人，住的类似旅馆式样的房间）就和子女住在一起根本不申请。 啥样的老人子女，一个village里啥都有，写着形形色色大杂烩的人性！
人家不要住啊。这怎么可能是假的，我有同事把父母移民过来的申请的这种政府补贴的公寓房还不止一个。
大部分州都是绿卡就可以申请。。。
是的， 加州可以拿到一室一厅。不是学区房，但是是城市好的地段。福利是真的好。
不是的。家里资产藏起来或转移给子女。
对，没工作过一天来美国蹭福利的也是垃圾之一
Medicaid
因为医疗吸血体系，房地产税 subscription模式，这种维稳的福利，虽然只是让老人活着而已，和中国的鳏寡孤独五保户老人类似， 但是都是大大的$.
这个是中产交税，还要经过政府层层大大损耗以后，支付转移的。
美国的资本家制度设计的真狠，现在相对军力优势逐渐消失，只能国内中产被吸血得越狠！
如果是真穷人，不管人家是懒还是烂，拿福利也无可厚非。但是某些移民隐瞒自己的财产和收入，欺骗政府拿福利，而且高收入的儿女还说自己交了税是应该的，这种行为就太无耻了。
这个不叫美国福利好 题目改成： 美国福利漏洞多
我们长岛就有老年公寓，申请只需要等一年，62岁就可以申请，收入不得低于两万不能高于六万，两千五百块的一房一厅只需付$800 （ 包一个停车位）绝对好区，房子很漂亮。
我们州不行，我听一个奶奶说的，她说有了公民后就能拿900刀一个月，但是她不想考公民，她几乎每天去老年人中心玩（当然去老年人中心不需要公民啦）
