You can get Medicaid when pregnant if you meet the eligibility requirements - principally, citizenship and limited income/assets. Medicaid can be backdated up to three months prior to the month of your application.You can get Medicaid even if you have insurance; however, your provider(s) must bill your insurance first, prior to billing Medicaid.

When mom died Medicaid sent a letter saying when dad died they were coming after our homeplace. Mom was not even on the deed. Can medicaid really get it?
Yes, Medicaid can get money from the sale of the home even if your mother was not on the deed. As long as she and your father were legally married, then Medicaid can go after the property to repay the money Medicaid spent for her care. Medicaid will not, however, kick your father out or take more money than they spent on your mother.

Can you be denied Medicaid if you get married?
Yes being married (or even declaring your significant other as living in the household) absolutely does effect medicaid coverage as you must report income from ALL individuals residing in the home. In effect your income would be higher making it more difficult to qualify for Medicaid. And I can tell you that the difference between 1 person and 2 people when it comes to income qualifications is not a very big margin. I have known couples who have disabled children actually divorce and maintain their relationships outside the home in order to qualify so their child can get proper healthcare as insurance for disabled children is nearly non existent.
Does it cost anything if you have Medicare and Medicare?
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.
I am 46 years old make little income not pregnant and have no children I am sick why can I not get Medicaid?
This is straight from the medicaid website - it basically says that not everyone with low income is eligible for medicaid, there are other screening tools. Even if you are low-income, having certain assets may prevent you from being eligible. "Medicaid does not provide medical assistance for all people with limited incomes and resources. Even under the broadest provisions of the Federal statute (except for emergency services for certain persons), the Medicaid program does not provide health care services for everyone. You must qualify for Medicaid. Low-income is only one test for Medicaid eligibility; assets and resources are also tested against established thresholds. As noted earlier, categorically needy persons who are eligible for Medicaid may or may not also receive cash assistance from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program or from the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. Medically needy persons who would be categorically eligible except for income or assets may become eligible for Medicaid solely because of excessive medical expenses."

Can illegal people get Medicaid?
I assume you mean, "undocumented aliens," because being a person is not illegal anywhere in the US, even Arizona. In general, one must be a citizen to receive Medicaid. Certain categories of "legal" aliens may also qualify. An undocumented alien may receive Medicaid for emergency treatment only, if the alien meets all the other factors of eligibility (over 65, under 18, caring for a relative under 18, or permanently and totally disabled; little or no income/assets).
