Do I qualify for Medicaid in Georgia?

Q.1

Sue: I am a 40-year old single mom. I have Type 2 diabetes and need insulin. My daughter is 18, and working her way through community college. I work full-time (40 hours per week), but my employer does not provide health insurance. Since I make minimum wage, my income is just below $15,000/year ($1,250 per month).

Q.2

Sally: I'm a 21-year old single mom; my baby is two years old now. I haven't been able to get childcare so I work on the weekends when my mom can watch my baby. I was going to get TANF - that's welfare - so I could do job training, but we could only get $235 per month and my mom needed more help than that with the rent. So I make a bit under under $8,000/year ($650 per month).

Q.3

Aaron: I'm 55 years old. My wife and I raised our kids and now they're starting families of their own. We both always worked and we considered ourselves middle class. But then she had a stroke, and lost her job, along with our health insurance. She applied for disability but got denied and the appeal is taking a long time. I still work full-time for a small business, which is tough because I try to take care of her too. I make about $12/hour, which comes out to just over $2,000 per month (or $25,000/year). My asthma acts up but there's not much I can do about it - those inhalers are real expensive.

Q.4

Alberto: I'm 60 years old. I came here from South America, and I am a permanent U.S. resident with a greencard. All my children are citizens, though. I used to do landscaping work, but I have arthritis and a bad back, so I can't anymore. I don't have any income at all; my wife and I are getting help from the kids. My last job where I worked for 7 years, they paid me right (instead of just cash) and I wonder whether all the money I paid into Social Security could help me get health insurance.

Q.5

Meredith: I am 19 years old. I am pregnant. I can't find a job - who wants to hire a pregnant lady without a high school diploma!? - but my husband works full-time and makes just under $30,000/year ($2,500 per month).

Q.6

Danielle: I'm 50 years old. I have schizophrenia. I was homeless for a long time before I started taking medication, but I've been on the waitlist for subsidized housing for 3 years so hopefully I'll get something soon. A caseworker helped me get SSI (disability) two years ago when I got off the street and moved into the shelter. I get a check for $698 per month. I wanted to save it while I'm staying at the shelter but my caseworker said if have more than $2,000 saved I could lose my benefits, so once I got near $2,000 I stopped saving and just buy my friends food.

Q.7

David: I'm a 36-year old high school graduate. I'm not married or a father or anything. I'm disabled due to complications of diabetes so I can't work construction anymore - I lost a leg and am mostly blind. I just started getting a SSDI (disability) check of $800/month - about $9,600 per year. My caseworker said I could get Medicare in a year or so, but not yet.

Q.8

Rob: I'm 30 years old. I graduated from college and got a good job, but when the recession started, I got laid off. I ran out of unemployment three months ago. I've been submitting about 30 resumes every week but so far, no luck. My dad died of testicular cancer and I've noticed some problems recently, but I'm afraid to go in and find out what's wrong. My mom was nice enough to let me move back in and feed me, but she's retired and she can't help me any more than she is already.
