Trump bars visas for Immigrants who can't pay for healthcare by Kwanza: 5:34am On Oct 05, 2019 |
•White House says too many non-citizens taking advantage of the country’s ‘generous public health programs’ Immigrants applying for US visas will be denied entry into the country unless they can prove they can afford health care within 30 days of entering or can’t pay for it themselves, according to a proclamation signed by President Trump. The new rule, which comes into force on 3 November, will be applied to people seeking immigrant visas, not those in the US already. It does not apply to those seeking asylum seekers, refugees or children. But it would apply to the spouses and parents of US citizens. That could have an impact on families who are trying to bring their parents to the US. The proclamation said immigrants will be barred from entering the country unless they are to be covered by health insurance within 30 days of entering or have enough financial resources to pay for any medical costs. The Trump administration is trying to move away from a family-based immigration system and into a merit-based system, and Friday’s proclamation is another effort to limit immigrant access to public programs. The Trump administration earlier this year made sweeping changes to regulations that would deny green cards to immigrants who use some forms of public assistance. The White House also directed officials to recover income-based welfare payments from sponsors, and proposed a rule requiring verification of immigration status for anyone seeking access to public housing benefits. The required insurance can be purchased individually or provided by an employer, and it can be short-term coverage or catastrophic. Medicaid for the poor doesn’t apply and an immigrant will not be able to obtain a visa if using the Affordable Care Act’s subsidies when buying insurance. Those subsidies are paid for by the federal government. Trump has made cutting legal and illegal immigration a centerpiece of his presidency. The Trump administration said last month that it planned to allow only 18,000 refugees to resettle in the United States in the 2020 fiscal year, the lowest number in the history of the modern refugee program. The White House said in a statement that too many non-citizens were taking advantage of the country’s “generous public health programs”, and that immigrants contribute to the problem of “uncompensated health care costs”. According to the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan immigration thinktank, 57% of US immigrants had private health insurance in 2017, compared with 69% of US-born, and 30% had public health insurance coverage, compared with 36% of US-born. The uninsured rate for immigrants dropped from 32%t to 20% from 2013 to 2017, since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, according to Migration Policy Institute. There are about 1.1 million people who obtain green cards each year. “This new attempt at an immigration ban is as shameless as it is stunning,” tweeted Doug Rand, a former Obama administration official who is the co-founder of Boundless Immigration. “It will be chaotic to implement and guaranteed to separate US citizens from their legal immigrant spouses and other close relatives.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/05/us-immigrants-will-be-denied-entry-if-they-cant-afford-health-care

Trump is mean oo. The American dream is now utopian, quixotic and unrealisable. Let me use this opportunity to advise young people to take care of their health. The greatest thing that leads to bankruptcy (inability to pay your debts) in the USA is health emergency. Stop abusing drugs to stay high or woke. Stop eating junk. Stop having saex raw. May God give you good health! Sell airtime to us and make cash! See red link below for testimonies from Nairalanders we have done business with! 41 Likes 2 Shares |

They have taken all the finest of Africans there is out there. In the last 2 decades African as a whole has been producing less of bright minds, this is largely as a result of bad governance and leadership that has bitten hard into the fabrics of the AFRICAN ethics. You can not give what u dont have The USoA cannot put up with you all anymore, some one got to do the job. It is not about Trump. Someone got to tell u all to stay and die in your shit hole. If u have money u could be rescued out, otherwise stay and perish There is nothing like moving from family based to merit based. It's all financial based Charlie Do u have medical insurance or money to pay ![]() 20 Likes 2 Shares |

Trump Trump. No nonsense man! He should please ban all Nigerians politicians and their families from 'coming to America' The ban should be extended to all Nigerians except those with special and urgent needs. All other developed countries of the world should follow suit so that everybody will stay back and fix this 'shithole'. 13 Likes |

We shouldn't blame trump. We should blame our leaders, if Nigeria had been better, Nigerians won't be bothered about whatever policy Trump implemented. That Doug, former Obama administration official has a point though. Quality UK 1st and 2nd grade men's shirts available for sale. Check link below for more details |

Action President so desperate to fulfil all his electoral promises to his supporters before the next election, unlike the one we have in Aso Rock that denies all his promises and threaten anyone that complain with DSS. If CNN was in Nigeria, DSS and NBC would have shut down the station. 20 Likes 3 Shares
