Can Medicare or Medicaid pierce an irrevocable trust?

It depends on how the trust is drafted. A properly drafted irrevocable trust, in Florida, will be invisible to Medicaid (Medicare doesn't factor assets into whether or not one is qualified the way Medicaid does). However, transfers of assets into the trust must be done 5 years before applying to medicaid or medicaid will assess a transfer penalty (this is referred to as the "five year lookback"). The transfer penalty is a period of ineligibility for certain medicaid benefits depending on the size of the transfer. As a result, irrevocable trust planning would not be appropriate for all Medicaid planning scenarios.

What happens if you gift a home to someone then apply for medicaid nursing home?

If you gift a home to someone and then apply for Medicaid nursing home benefits, it may be considered a transfer of assets for less than fair market value. This could result in a penalty period where you are not eligible for Medicaid benefits for a certain period of time. The length of the penalty period will depend on the value of the gift and the average monthly cost of nursing home care in your state. It is important to consult with an elder law attorney or Medicaid planning professional before making any gift or asset transfers.
