If you are on Medicare because of a (Social Security Disability or SSD) disability, this would apply to *you*.
Medicaid or in California, Medi-Cal; are need/income based.
They are two separate programs though a person could have Medicare and Medicaid at the same time.
My parents are on Medicare but do not qualify for Medicaid as their income is higher than the criteria.
As far as the ban lifting, so far, it is just Medicare , not Medicaid but it may not be far behind.
It is a beginning and for that; I am glad.
Medicare vs. Medicaid, is very confusing and hopefully I got it right-anyone with a better understanding, please jump in.
