Medicaid provides medical care for indigent persons under age 18 and their parents, persons over age 65 and those permanently and totally disabled. Unemployment, in itself, does not make one eligible for Medicaid.

∙ 15y agoAs someone who is on medicaid, I can answer this to the best of my abilities. In my state, there is a requirement that you not have more than $999.99 at any time. So, this means that while you can work, you can not save. It is a very stupid rule, as it basically prohibits people with severe medical conditions from ever saving for a future.

Will obamacare cover you if you are unemployed?
Once again, "ObamaCare" is not some sort of insurance plan. It's a regulatory framework, combined with an expansion of Medicaid. All the provisions of ObamaCare apply whether you are employed or not; if you are unemployed, your income will drop, so it will almost certainly change your options as to the cost of obtaining coverage. You (and possibly your family) may now qualify for either free (Medicaid) coverage, or subsidized coverage from the state-run Exchanges. Note that becoming unemployed is considered a "Qualifying Event", so a person who loses their job can immediately buy insurance off an Exchange, even if it is not during the normal Open Enrollment period of time. Once again, all of this is based on your total household income, and not specifically if you are unemployed.
Where can one find health insurance for the unemployed at a good rate?

Lower Cost Health Insurance Through Medicaid?
Sometimes, the cost of employer sponsored health insurance can be too much. For the unemployed and very low income, there may not even be any available health insurance. One solution to this problem is to look for the Medicaid programs in your state. Every state has a Medicaid program, although the names are all different, which is designed to cover those who do not have health insurance or who cannot afford it. For those who have no access to health insurance, Medicaid can provide nearly free coverage. For those who do have access through their employer but cannot afford it, Medicaid may be a very low cost option. Health insurance is critical to have in case of emergencies and there are many ways to get insurance if you do not currently have any.
