How does health insurance/care work for these people? Do you automatically qualify for the government programs (MA?) if you are even partially disabled?
- hiram112 9y agoWith the ACA, you will qualify for full insurance due to grants. But if these people have already qualified for federal / state disability payments, they will almost certainly be entitled to some combination of SSDI / Medicare / Medicaid.
- amigoingtodie 9y agoMedicaid, funded by the state. Some food subsidies via EBT or WIC. The more 'entrepreneurial' folks can also sell their prescriptions, subsidize other's food purchases w/ the EBT card (in exchange for cash), and make/sell moonshine.
- refurb 9y agoIf you receive SSI disability payments you qualify for Medicare even if you're not 65. However, you don't qualify until 2 years after you're eligible. People typically will go on Medicaid since they can't work and their low (or non-existent) income qualifies them for Medicaid.
