While I strongly support the idea that sponsors should be required to provide housing. transportation. food. cash assistance to legal aliens who they have sponsored. legal aliens and the sponsor would be unable to provide for themselves. for whatever reason. reasonable access to the health care which unpredictable illness and debilitating disease or injury might impose. Unlike cash assistance. housing or food. health care must be provided by a qualified professional. tailored to the specific diagnostic and treatment needs. Ultimately. no amount of hard work and personal responsibility can protect an immigrant or anyone else from illness or injury. My proposal would be to deem Medicaid for 2 years. That is. for the first 2 years that the legal alien is in the United States. the income of the sponsor will be deemed to be that of the alien.
