I thought you had to have a mental or physical illness, or have kids and be low income. I thought it was extremely hard to qualify for. But these people I know were talking about being on Medicaid. They have two jobs and work a lot of hours and still qualify. I could only have $2000 in my name, and I couldn’t even work alot of hours. I had to get off Medicaid, because I was earning and saving too much money. Plus medicaid wasnt paying for my therapist, and my doctor decided she wouldnt take it anymore. Also I was getting bad Psychiatric care on Medicaid and I couldn’t find any other doctor that would take it. I’m just on Medicare now, and am paying the difference.

But I am just curious, because I always thought it was so hard to get.
