To receive Medicaid, one must be a resident of the State which is providing that assistance. I believe that one may still receive Medicare even if living outside the U.S.
If your income exceeds the Medicaid standard in your State, you will have to "spend down" the excess to qualify for Medicaid.

Income levels vary from state to state, especially for families. Contact your state's Medicaid agency.
Depends on the state you live in but check with your local medicare office to see what resources they have available.

If your referring to Medicare and Medicaid. It depends on what level of Medicaid you have and what type of service you are attempting to receive. In most circumstances the Medicare & Medicaid recipient will have some share of the cost of their medical care. Depending on how impoverished the individual is, their income, assets, and medical issues all can affect what level of Medicaid the person receives or if they even qualify. This varies substantially from state to state since Medicaid follows broad federal guidelines but is customized by each state to meet the needs of their residents. For just Medicare, yes there is a share of cost the is involved and it can be substantial. Medicare Advantage plans may be of help in controlling the costs but it requires a bit of legwork on the individuals part to weigh the benefits of the different options or to see if one is even of value to them.
Medicare is not means tested; eligibility is not based on income or assets. Medicaid eligibility standards vary somewhat by State.

Medicaid is State Insurance and Medicare is federal. Therefore, it depends on what state you have Medicaid in; however, I doubt that they would. Very few insurance companies do.
