- carabiner 5y agoBe young & healthy and risk it with whatever state low-income health care exists. In WA, I had an injury that required a 2-night hospital stay. I ended up owing $500 a few months later under Apple Health https://www.hca.wa.gov/health-care-services-supports/apple-health-medicaid-coverage https://www.hca.wa.gov/health-care-services-supports/apple-h..., which I gladly paid.
- hermannj314 5y agoI quit my job and qualified for Medicaid. It isn't means tested anymore since ACA was passed. Based only on income in the month of eligibility. I have been voluntarily unemployed since December. Obviously if you make money this doesn't work. To clarify: I own my house and have hundreds of thousands in assets and I am qualified for Medicaid. I didn't believe it either. The quality of care is great. State is PA. Edit: medicaid, not Medicare. I am not even close to 65.
