[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 608933, member: 1514"] I hope they dont take away medicaid from very low income SSDI people. I actually make less than the current levels for individual medicaid for the disabled. In NC, if a person is disabled they can get regular medicaid if you earn less than $850 a month. When I started getting disability back in 2007, the limit for medicaid for the disabled was $800. Slowly over the past couple years that limit has gone up to about 50 to 70 dollars more than what I got from SSDI. Since that wasnt a medicaid program over and above the federal limits, I am hoping it doesnt go away because I cant afford to even pay my deductible for the Medicare part A. I understand that is going up to either 124 or 142. I dont know which I saw. I just know it had those numbers in it...lol. If I then have to buy a medigap policy, I might as well not even get SSDI because most of it will go towards the insurance. From what I understand, very low income people arent going to qualify for this health insurance anyway. If you meet or are lower than the poverty level then you cant get it. Like there are people who only make 6K a year working part time, well they say you should meet the medicaid guidelines but if they dont have any kids, well then they dont qualify. Mandy just lost medicaid because she is making about 500 a month and that is over income limits for an adult. The baby still qualifies. [/QUOTE]
