Thanks for the clarification.
Unfortunately, under pre-Obamacare Medicaid rules, in most states you have to have dependents, be pregnant, or be disabled to qualify for Medicaid:
"Prior to the ACA, states could not receive federal Medicaid matching funds to cover non-disabled adults
without dependent children...
[O]verall, Medicaid coverage for low-income adults remains very limited. As of January 2013, only nine states, including DC, provide full Medicaid coverage to low-income adults,
and enrollment is closed in two of these states(Figure 4, Table 3). Sixteen states solely provide more
limited coverage to adults, and enrollment is closed in seven of these states."
