Rule blocks Hispanics’ health care in Georgia. This sucks.

“Some Hispanic children eligible for Medicaid benefits aren’t getting the medical care they need because of a change in the way the state verifies their parents’ income, say health care providers and advocates for Hispanics.

The change is creating a kind of Catch-22 situation for children born to noncitizen parents in the United States. Born here, the children are citizens and unlike their parents are eligible for benefits such as Medicaid, a federal-state program that provides health care for some low-income people.”
