Medicare benefits are not based on one's income and/or assets and, therefore, are not affected by personal injury awards.
For Medicaid, benefits might be suspended (or terminated, if the award is especially large) upon receipt of a personal injury award, until the patient can show that s/he has spent the "excess" asset on medical care and/or other legitimate living expenses.
