unpaid interns would not automatically qualify for medicaid coverage. however in a state that expands medicaid coverage any young adult with income up to $15 282 for an individual and $31 322 for a family of four would be eligible for medicaid coverage. assuming that an unpaid intern has no other source of income that would disqualify him/her an unpaid (or even a low-paid) intern would qualify for medicaid.
if a young adult is working as an unpaid intern can he/she qualify for medicaid?
