As stated on www.medicare.gov, Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Medicaid also offers benefits not normally covered by Medicare, like nursing home care and personal care services.
Each state has different rules about eligibility and applying for Medicaid. Some states have expanded their Medicaid programs to cover all people with household incomes below a certain level.
Call your state Medicaid program to see if you qualify and learn how to apply.
