Again, go to the link I provided. you qualify for medicaid....unless you live in certain backward states ran by Republicans.....
Let me guess.....you do. AND you voted for them?
No I didn't vote Republican and I already stated, my spend down for Medicaid is around $321 a month. That means I have to give the state $321 a month of my soc sec check to get Medicaid. It would not leave a livable income. I have checked on all this. I would like to have insurance, I just can't afford it.
Why in the name of God would you rather be on medicaid if you are eligible for medicare? I still have no idea what point you are trying to make, you said you are 65 and on Social Security, that makes you eligible for medicare. The only thing you would have to pay is the $104 for part B and you can get an Advantage plan that covers almost everything.

Assuming you are single: https://www.healthcare.gov/qualifyin...r-costs-chart/
Medicaid coverage is available to anyone making less then 16,234. You stated earlier you get less then $1200, IE 14,400. This is less then 16,234.
Am I missing something?
And as others said...Medicare is better for you in many ways.
Then you don't know what you are actually paying. Medicare starts at $105 to $140 a month, taken out of your check if you sign up, depending on several factors. I was always self employed, so everything comes out of pocket. A supplement would cost me about $90 a month, to cover meds and dr. visits. Nothing in A or B covers those.
I do know what I am talking about, at your low Social Security benefit, unless you have significant other assets you will pay $104 for part B and you should be able to find an Advantage plan for NO monthly payment. My husband has one, he has a $5 co-pay for his primary care MD and a $25 co-pay for specialists, as long as his drugs are generics they are all free. And actually you are wrong about part B, it covers all but 20% of your routine MD visits.
I don't know where you live, but you can find out what plans are available in your area quite easily https://www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan...ions/home.aspx Put in your zipcode and look for advantage plans that offer both medical and drug coverage
Hey states, here's some Medicaid money. Free Medicaid money, for the taking. Why won't you take our Medicaid money? Who wouldn't accept our free Medicaid money. Free, free, free. No cost to yooou.
What you pay for part B depends. If you are eligible at age 62, but don't sign up, there is a 10% penalty for each year that you don't enroll. See, there are things about Medicare that you don't know about.

You aren't eligible for medicare at 62, you have to be 65. The only exception would be if you are on SSDI.
