"Carranza, a child development professional who grew up swinging through trees and swimming in rivers in El Salvador, said she feels at home in the forest at the outdoor preschool she co-founded."
"The GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed last July by President Trump, barred certain categories of lawfully present immigrants from Medicare, affecting those with temporary protected status, refugees, and asylum-seekers."
"Those already in the program, like Carranza, will be disenrolled by Jan. 4, a move by Republican lawmakers to rein in Medicare spending, arguing that taxpayer dollars should not be used for the health care of unauthorized immigrants."
Rosa Maria Carranza, a child development professional, has dedicated over 30 years to working with children. She co-founded an outdoor preschool and has contributed significantly to Medicare and Social Security. However, new legislation, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, will disenroll her and approximately 100,000 other lawfully present immigrants from Medicare. This decision, made by Republican lawmakers, aims to reduce Medicare spending and restrict taxpayer-funded healthcare for certain immigrant categories, including refugees and those with temporary protected status.
