Medicaid
If you’re not already covered by Medicaid or a private health insurance plan, you may be able to get coverage through the government’s health insurance programs. The two most common programs are Medicare and Medicaid.
To qualify for Medicaid, you must be low-income and have a limited income. You can find out your income level on the government’s website. To qualify for Medicare, you must be age 65 or older, have worked in the United States for at least 10 years, and have a limited income.
Both Medicare and Medicaid have strict eligibility requirements. If you don’t meet the requirements, you may still be able to get coverage if you have a family member who is covered by one of the programs. You can also look into private health insurance plans that offer government health insurance coverage.

Health Insurance Options for the Elderly
Medicare is a government health insurance program for people over 65 years of age, and for people with disabilities. There are different types of Medicare, depending on whether you have paid Social Security taxes.
You can get Medicare through a retirement plan, or if you are already receiving Social Security benefits. To apply for Medicare, you must go to a Medicare office, or visit the online application portal.
If you are already receiving Social Security disability benefits, you may be able to get Medicare coverage too. You will need to meet the eligibility requirements, and you will also need to pay a monthly premium.

ACA (Obamacare)
Are you eligible for Medicaid or other government health insurance? The answer to this question depends on a few things, including your income and your state of residence. In general, people who make less than 138% of the federal poverty level (FPL) are eligible for Medicaid in most states. Eligibility varies by state, so it’s important to contact your state health department to find out if you qualify.
People who make between 138% and 200% of the FPL are generally eligible for premium tax credits to help them purchase insurance through the marketplaces established by Obamacare. These credits are also available to people with income between 100% and 400% of the FPL. People who don’t have insurance through their employers can also get coverage through the marketplaces, though there are some restrictions on what type of coverage is available.
If you can’t get COBRA or don’t want to buy insurance on the marketplace, you may be able to apply for Medicaid or other government health insurance through a special program called the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). This program provides coverage for children who don’t have coverage through their parents’ job or private insurance. To find out if you’re eligible
