That depends, are you just poor, or just old, or just old and poor? Medicare is for the elderly and disabled, Medicaid is for the very poor. I think a healthy individual (non-disabled) can begin drawing Medicare at 65, the disabled can draw it any age. Medicaid you can get at birth, through age 18. After that, to get Medicaid you have to be a pregnant woman or elderly.

I would think it safe to take beginning at age 12.  Under that age, let your parents make that decision.  It is just for gas relief.

Medicare is a federally funded program as where Medicaid is a state funded program and therefore each state has the ability to set their own rules and guidelines.  Typically, medical assistance is based on your income or disbaility.  You will want to contact your local Division of Family Services to see what you may be eligible for. \nHope this helps!

its usually up to the company when they purchase the policy, most companies go with age 23 providing that the dependant is a full time student and 19 if they are not. Dependant children do, however, have their own right to COBRA, which extends their coverage for 18 months. After COBRA ends you sometimes have the right to CAL-COBRA which is another 18 months. As soon as all COBRA options are exhausted, you have the right to purchase a private health plan anwhere, called a HIPAA plan. The COBRA laws are regulated by the department of Labor, and the IRS. If you do not elect COBRA, your son will have to get MRMIP (Major Risk insurance) which is not a fun process. Having heart surjury means he is un-insurable for the rest of his life in the private sector, he will either have to get the HIPAA plan, or work somewhere with group insurance benefits. Good luck to you!!! (Sometimes when a child is extremely dependant you can go through a special appeal to keep them on your plan, but it may be very difficult)

I know that if the braces are for a child under the age of 18 that Medicaid for will for them if they are medically necessary.

depending on the state you are in, the benefits will continue.  The medicaid usually wont stop for at least 2 years, as long as the parent keeps the renewal appointment with welfare.  As far as the other benefits, they will continue, but in the name of the person that has custody of the child.  Check with your welfare worker for your state's laws.

You may be covered by Medicaid if you have high medical bills, you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or you meet certain income, resource, age, or disability requirements. \n\nThe page linked below shows one state's qualifications. Your state may differ.

People would like to think 16.  It's younger than that, before mom and dad realize it's happening, anyway.\n13-14 would be average.

ask your mom and grandma when they had theirs for the 1st time. Around that age is your answer.

62, but they'll be a lot smaller than if you wait. You can wait till 70, and the payments will be larger. Medicare starts at 65.

First off, talk to your caseworker, it is her/his job to explain your benefits to you.  In Indiana, spenddown works like this...there is a set income level for an adult to qualify for medicaid.  Any amount over this level (again, within specified guidelines) is your spenddown.  This is the amount that Medicaid has determined that you should be able to pay out-of-pocket.  You will have to have $467 worth of charges/services with a medical provider or pharmacy before your medicaid benefits kick in (this means you will be responsible for paying the first $467 worth of office calls, lab-work, ER visits, prescriptions, etc).

IF $$IS A CONCERN TO CAN GO TO YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC AID OFFICE. MOST CITIES HAVE WHAT THEY CALLED A "WELL CHILD/BABY"                                  ' PROGRAM. THIS SERVICE IS FOR WOMEN AND FAMILIES THAT HAVE LOW INCOME OR NO INSURANCE. AND IT WILL COVER ALL OF YOUR PRENATAL, HOSPITAL, AND DELIVERY COSTS. IT  WILL ALSO COVER YOUR CHILD'S MEDICAL EXPENSES UNTIL HE REACHED THE AGE OF 6 IF NECESSARY

There is no clear cut age. It depends on a number of factors. See section (B)(2)(b) at the site below.
