I went to a few sites and they do not seem to tell you. Just want you to sign up and see if you qualify. But states are different.

I know from experience of others if you have anything you have to get rid if it first. And for a single middle aged male to get it is nearly impossible. You must be around the poverty income limit and not own a home, etc. The value of one auto is figured in. Pregnant women and children first.
A friend has been trying to get on it for a long time. He has diabetes bad too.

It is much easier to qualify for food stamps.

The answer isn't this long and convoluted. If you're poor enough, you qualify.

Folks take a gamble by not buying heath insurance, and by losing that gamble, they lose their money before the government kicks in and saves their gambling ass from the grave.

It's a safety net, not a hammock.
