Hi, I know someone who recently brought his elderly Grandmother from China about a month ago. His belief was that there would be very little costs in terms of medical insurance and other issues because the government would pay for it. He plans on applying for a health care program which is available to residents of San Francisco even though he and the Grandmother do not live in San Francisco.
I barely know the guy, and figured it would be best for me to just stay out of the issue even though I think he is giving immigrants a bad name, but now it is clear that the Grandmother is very isolated and becoming depressed. In China she had a fairly active social life, but here she knows no one besides her grandson and is scared to go outside on her own because she is concerned she won't be able to find her way back.
Is there anything I can do to convince him that there are great economic and legal risks associated with his actions and that he is better off sending her home and paying for someone to take care of her there?
Thank you very much.
