WSJ News Exclusive | Immigrant-Visa Applicants Required to Show They Can Afford Health Care

http://archive.is/wdyfT

The White House issued a presidential proclamation on Friday night requiring many future immigrant visa applicants to show they can afford health care, a move that could make it harder for poor migrants to enter the U.S.

The action, which is set to take effect in 30 days, would require applicants, including people with ties to family members in the U.S., to show they have health insurance or prove their financial ability to pay for medical care before being issued a visa that could lead to a green card.

The proclamation wouldn’t apply to noncitizen children of U.S. citizens. Refugees and immigrants who won asylum are also excluded from the new requirement. The Wall Street Journal first reported on the proclamation shortly before it was released.

The move marks the latest effort by President Trump to restrict immigrants’ ability to enter the U.S.

The administration is poised to implement a rule this month that would require many of the same applicants to demonstrate that they wouldn’t become reliant on public benefits including Medicaid should they be allowed to immigrate to the U.S.

The new requirement would take a further step, requiring anyone looking to move to the U.S. to enroll in private insurance—including as a dependent on a family member’s health plan—or possess the financial means to cover significant medical costs.

The proclamation also allows entry into the U.S. for migrants who have the “financial resources to pay for reasonably foreseeable medical costs,” but it doesn’t define the threshold for meeting that standard.

Subsidized plans purchased on the Affordable Care Act insurance exchanges wouldn’t count as an eligible form of insurance under the White House’s new definition.
Interesting.

Trump begging Shinzo to nominate him for the Nobel peace prize is one of the funnier events of the week. Sad.

Any medical opinions/insight on this situation?
Chronic use of decongestants is ill advised. You get rebound congestion when you are between doses and they become less effective as receptors get use to them over time.
People have been known to use them illicitly for stim purposes. It'd be a bit odd to be so reliant on them that you are getting British ones when you are rich and have a personal doctor that can provide you managed adderall, etc.

I am sure this is all Obama's fault.
