Do you mean to say income as taxable income? In the event a person holding Disability Insurance becomes disabled, they will get a certain percentage of their salary. Example, if their salary is $2000 then a certain portion of it (say 50% = $1000) would come from the insurance every month.
Medigap: Medigap (also known as medical supplemental insurance) refers an individual insurance policy which can be purchased to cover certain health care services and costs which are not provided by Medicare. Medigap insurance is becoming very important to people covered under the Medicare program since reduction in levels of benefits and curtailment in availability of services have become reality as a result of the need to control the costs of this program. Medicaid: Medicaid is the federal program which provides for the health care needs of certain low-income people. Medicare: Medicare is the federal program which provides for the health care needs of the elderly, the blind and the disabled.
In the United States, health insurance is not made mandatory by the federal government. There are, however, certain employers or educational institutions that require it. If working as a medical resident, for example, health insurance is mandated.
Social Security is not a health insurance program. Medicare covers medical care for persons over age 65 and certain persons who are totally and permanently disabled as defined by Social Security regulations.

State medicaid is available to people who meet the income standards (i.e. have income lower than a certain percentage of Federal Poverty Limits), and/or who are deemed disabled by Social Security Administration. It's not based upon whether the person can afford private health insurance. Under health reform, states can choose to offer medicaid to all people whose incomes are lower than 133% of Federal Poverty Limits. Watch for news in your state about this -- it may come in 2014.
