Do you have to keep your healthplan if you are on Medicare and Medicaid?
Unless one anticipates becoming ineligible for Medicaid, there is no good reason for a person who has both Medicare A & B and Medicaid to keep a private insurance plan. However, if you choose to do so, please do the taxpayers a favor and let your medical providers and your Medicaid caseworker know about the private plan, so that Medicaid will be billed only after the bill is "adjudicated" by Medicare and/or the private plan.

What is the cost of AARP UnitedHealth Sierra Senior Dimension Rx plan to an elderly person in a nursing home covered by both medicare and medicaid?
I do not know what the cost is, but there is no point to such a person paying for additional insurance. Medicaid will cover whatever expenses are left over after Medicare, including the cost of the nursing home itself.
How will gov't know you have insurance with ObamaCare?
The Department of Health and Human Services maintains a database of all people who receive coverage from a variety of sources (private insurance, government Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, etc.). Each of the agencies will report to HHS when an individual buys (or qualifies for) coverage, and the dates when they were covered. The reporting will be the responsibility of the individual agencies. Thus, HHS will know all the dates of coverage for everyone.
Has the enactment of medicare and medicaid resulted in greater government federal or state spending?
There is no doubt that the enactment of Medicaid has resulted greater federal and state spending. However, the alternative would have been a much less healthy population in the U.S.The states have no role to speak of in administering Medicare. As far as I know, that program has been able to fund itself, so far, through insurance payments from employers and employees.

What is the diffence between Medicare and medicaid?
Medicare is health insurance for persons over age 65, persons with end state renal disease and persons who receive Social Security disability payments. The individual must have 40 credits of "covered employment" (i.e., calendar quarters during which they paid into Medicare), or be the spouse or dependent of such individual. Medicare is funded by payroll taxes and administered by the Federal government. Medicaid provides care for indigent citizens under age 18 and their parents, persons over age 65, and those permanently and totally disabled. Medicaid is supervised by the Federal government, administered by the States, and funded by State and Federal taxes. [N.b., as a result of health insurance reform, by 2014 Medicaid will be available to any indigent citizen, regardless of age or disability.]

Do you have Medicaid or Medicare. If you do then see if you can qualify. In you don't have any insurance at all then contact the Shriners or Kiwanis club. Some chapters have these kind of program.
Can a person have both medicare and Medicaid?
Medicare covers the elderly and people with certain disabilities and end-stage renal disease regardless of income level. Medicaid eligibility is for the poor and is based on low income, family size and a few other requirements. Actually, they can. You only have to be poor and disabled, unable to work..that equals poor. You qualify for both. I know a few people who have both. It is pretty common for people to have Medicaid and Medicare. This is called dual eligible. The above answer is correct in that a person must be elderly or disabled to qualify, and because a disabled person is not eligible to work they more usually qualify for Medicaid. Of course this depends on other income (ie. spousal income), and any assets. Medicare is federal program so the eligibility is the same in every state, Medicaid however is a state program so eligibility will depend on the state your daughter resides in. I used to sell Medicare Advantage plans. My mother has been on both for over 50 years! She became disabled at age 25, and is now going on 76 years old. She has both and also had SSI to boot, but recently became ineligible because she is now in a boarding home.
