it sounds like you may very well qualify for medicaid but you'll need to make sure your state is expanding its program. just 26 states are. in any event you'll need to go through the enrollment process through your state's health insurance marketplace to determine what programs and/or financial assistance you're eligible for. check out healthcare. gov to start the process.
i've been out of work due to illness since march 24 2012. . i exhausted the temporary state disability within the first few months. i now have had no income for the past year. my family has paid for my medical insurance which is a private plan. do i go straight to medicaid to enroll? i am a 50-year-old single female with no children.
