The Bottom Line

President Trump's immigration policy, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, will end Medicare coverage for 100,000 lawfully present immigrant seniors.

How This Affects You

If you are a lawfully present immigrant senior, you could lose your Medicare coverage due to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, jeopardizing your retirement.

AI Summary

The GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill Act will make Rosa María Carranza and an estimated 100,000 other lawfully present immigrant seniors ineligible for Medicare. Carranza has worked and paid taxes for more than two decades, contributing to the system. This provision will end her Medicare coverage, despite her years of contributions. As a result, Carranza's once secure retirement is now in question.
