Joe is a former immigration attorney and is a leading voice in Harrisburg to make Pennsylvania welcoming to immigrants and refugees.
He is at the forefront of an effort to try to get legislation introduced and passed to ensure that 24,000 Pennsylvania children are able to qualify for and receive CHIP, Medicaid or ACA Marketplace coverage regardless of immigration status. Pennsylvania is the birthplace of the federal CHIP program. Five states – California (36 counties), Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Washington and the District of Columbia – have adopted reforms to make undocumented immigrant children eligible for public health insurance. Collectively, at least 202,000 children have gained access to health care in these states by enrolling in public health insurance. Pennsylvania Can Afford to Expand CHIP Coverage. Based on the experience of other states, the nonprofit group PCCY estimates that the cost for the first full year to operate expanded coverage would be $15.4 million and asserts that this amount is equivalent to 10% of the state FY2014 CHIP budget.
Nationally renowned for his experience solving challenging immigration cases, Joe’s work as an immigration lawyer has focused on keeping families united and protecting the rights of immigrants.
