In 2008, the federal government spent $186 billion on medicaid.
The "Medically Needy" program in Florida includes those who make slightly too much money for Medicaid (particularly including those on Social Security Disability Income), however do not make enough money to cover their medical bills and general living expenses.
It's more like, how little do you have to make. That varies among the States.

The question might be asked, "How MUCH property," and, "How much is it worth?" I doubt that you could be a millionaire landowner and make a valid claim for assistance. But under "normal homeowner" circumstances, yes, you do not have to be destitute in order to qualify.
As long as you meet the non-financial factors of eligibility for Medicaid, the State will expect you to apply your "excess" income/assets to your nursing/medical care and the Medicaid will pick up the remainder of the medical/nursing bills.
The income limits to qualify for medical assistance vary by state and household size. In general, you may qualify if your income is at or below 138 of the federal poverty level. It's best to check with your state's Medicaid program for specific income requirements.
In 2010, the cost to deliver a baby ranged from $2,000 for a normal, vaginal delivery at a birth center to $23,000 for a cesarean section with complications at a hospital. If you are in a low-income household, you may qualify for Medicaid. Ask your doctor for help to apply for it. If you do not qualify for Medicaid, you can ask your doctor (and the hospital) for a payment plan.
