'A shining moment': Congress agrees to restore Medicaid for Pacific Islanders

‘A shining moment’: Congress agrees to restore Medicaid for Pacific Islanders POLITICO 12/21/2020 By Dan Diamond © Alex Wong/Getty Images Democratic lawmakers like Sen. Mazie Hirono and her Hawaii colleagues had spent about two decades trying to restore Marshall Islanders health benefits. The wait may be over for tens of thousands of Marshall Islanders after nearly 25 years of seeking to correct an oversight that denied them federal health benefits. Congressional negotiators on Sunday agreed to allow Marshallese living in the United States to sign up for Medicaid, revising a drafting mistake in the 1996 welfare reform bill that barred the islanders from the program, according to three people with knowledge of the deal.

All seven people living in their home in Queens, New York, including Burhan’s mother and aunt, who are health care workers, came down with fevers, fatigue and temporary loss of smell and taste. “It was like dominoes,” Burhan, 18, told NBC Asian America. “My aunt had it first. Then my grandparents caught it, and they had it really bad they were coughing, they couldn’t breathe and it was pretty terrifying for a good week-and-a-half.”
