In a lot of states the cut-off for getting Medicaid is 133% of the Federal Poverty Level. That means less than $15,521/year. (That's less than $1,293.43 per month.) (That tends to be true in blue states.) Here is a link where I got that from: http://www.medicaid.gov/Medicaid-CHI...vel-charts.pdf

Also, whether or not you're living alone can factor in, also. They look at household income. I see that Michigan did not expand it's Medicaid eligibility in 2014, as many states did. See: http://www.medicaid.gov/Medicaid-CHI...vel-charts.pdf

Also see: http://www.advisory.com/daily-briefi...rs/medicaidmap I'm reading conflicting things on these sites.
