Health Insurance Plans for Green Card Holders in California

Hello everyone, I (23 F) am helping my parents sponsor my grandparents for a green card and they will live in Southern California. They have a visitor visa for 10 years that was renewed last year. My grandpa experienced a stroke this past year and my grandma has other pre-existing conditions. They are 72 (F) and 78 (M) years old. We want to get them health insurance after they receive their green card. What are their options? I know that some traveler insurances do not cover pre-existing conditions. And, I know that they need to have lived here for five continuous years to be eligible for Medicare. Would they be eligible for Medi-Cal? If so, will they apply with their income or my parents? They would not be working, so they would not have an income and would be living with my parents. I am at a loss here. The country they are coming from does not have good healthcare and is based on a bribing system.

Thank you in advance.
