Immigrant seniors are losing medicare coverage despite paying for it
"Rosa María Carranza, who has dedicated over three decades to child development, faces disenrollment from Medicare due to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which affects lawfully present immigrants."
"The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed by President Trump, bars certain categories of lawfully present immigrants from Medicare, impacting those who have contributed significantly to the program."
Rosa María Carranza, a child development professional, co-founded an outdoor preschool in Oakland. After transitioning to part-time work, she expected to rely on Medicare and Social Security benefits. However, new legislation, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, will disenroll her and approximately 100,000 other lawfully present immigrants from Medicare. This act, signed by President Trump, restricts access to Medicare for various immigrant categories, including refugees and asylum-seekers, as part of efforts to reduce Medicare spending.
