* Private health insurance, pretty expensive for older people though.
* Medicaid, and its state extensions, if low-income. However unless they
have certain chronic illnesses, they are unlikely to qualify.
* Get employment that pays health care benefit.
* Can also ask local government's senior service dept. for suggestions
Nope. The only way to get work credits is by employment. One only need
to earn $4.2k/yr to get the maximum # of 4 credits.

看你的回答，也就是说，基本上65岁以下的绿卡老人不太可能得到任何医疗帮助了，而
私人保险又太贵。我看有些地方有free clinic,但需要排队申请，不知道是否有实际帮
助。如果政府不能帮助这些老人，一旦有emergency,低收入也不可能付清帐单啊。
第二个问题，不知道是否可以夫妻一方积累credit，还是需要两个人都要工作积累
credit呢？也就是说spouse之间可以share credit吗？

发帖数: 62 | 4 查了一下，第二个问题基本有答案了。credit在30以下的，基本上是一个待遇。所以也
没有必要让我父母想办法工作了，积累到30起码要7，8年了。
第一个问题，谁还有解决方法呢？ | s**********6
