Buster, you may be right about qualifying for all of the benefits associated with Medicare/Medicaid,
but with respect to ObamaCare the eligible income levels are higher …

Determining eligibility for various ObamaCare plans and costs is complicated, and the
entire ObamaCare government website is needed just to work thru the spider web of details.

For example:
* Did your state Governor elect to expand Medicare ?
* What are your state's eligibility requirements ?
* How many members in your family ?
* What is your annual income ?
* What kind of coverage do you wish ?
* Do you qualify to tax credits, and if so how much ?
* Do you qualify for out-of-pocket expense reductions, and if so how much ?
* etc.

But, qualifying for the advantages of and cost reductions of Medicaid coverage,
the following annual income levels apply:

Below $21,983
You'll qualify for free or low-cost coverage through Medicaid based on income alone.

$21,983 - $39,825 You'll qualify for a Marketplace health plan with lower monthly premiums
plus savings on out-of-pocket costs, like deductibles and copayments.

$39,826 - $63,720 You'll qualify for a Marketplace health plan with lower monthly premiums.

Above $63,720 You won't qualify for savings on a Marketplace insurance plan.
You can buy insurance through the Marketplace at full price, or buy from other sources.
