Where can I get Medicaid and what are some plans I should consider?

Question

My friend asked me where they could get Medicaid and what plan would be best for them? I told her a place to try, but I wanted to find out more information to give her more options. Can anyone help?

She is almost 19, currently unemployed, no kids, is looking for a free or very cheap Medicaid at the moment. Is willing to pay once she finds a job, so if you know of some good health insurance plans you can post them as well. But for now, like a said, cheap or free Medicaid is what she is looking for.

Answer 1

It's run on a state by state basis, so she'll have to go to her local Medicaid office and apply.

Answer 2

Are you from Singapore? your friend should get medishield (singapore based) using her medisave account. Otherwise she can get a Hospital Plan like Manucare (from Manulife), which gives a yearly cover of up to $20,000 in inpatient bills and daily cash of $100 for each day she is hospitalized. Her age is young so she will enjoy lower premiums.
