However, the conditions my my parents' legal status (USA resident with green card) states that they cannot use any "means-based" programs, which MedicAid is but Obamacare/ACA is not.
So they are not supposed to apply for medicaid, but if they try to apply for ACA coverage the system won't let them, instead directing them to medicaid due to low income?
What if they overstate their expected income on the ACA site? This will reduce their subsidies, but be corrected when they file taxes. As long as income is at least 100% of poverty they are still eligible for subsidies.
(I can't imagine there'd be a clawback of the subsidies even if actual income ends up below 100% of poverty, but I have no idea what the law is on that.)
