Medicaid benefits generally qualify certain groups of people based on income, age, disability status, and family size. From the provided responses, the following groups qualify for Medicaid benefits:
-
People of all ages with low incomes - Medicaid is primarily designed to assist individuals and families with low income, regardless of age.
-
Disabled individuals who are over 18 - Individuals with disabilities may qualify for Medicaid, often regardless of their income level, especially if they meet certain criteria.
-
U.S. citizens who are over 65 - Many individuals over 65 may qualify for Medicaid if they meet income and other eligibility criteria, although they may also qualify for Medicare.
It's important to note that while families that pay for private insurance do not qualify for Medicaid solely based on their insurance status, they may still be eligible for Medicaid if they meet other criteria, such as low income.
So, the main groups that clearly qualify from your list are:
- People of all ages with low incomes
- Disabled individuals who are over 18
- U.S. citizens who are over 65 (if they meet income requirements)
