If your state did not expand Medicaid then the plan will not work. The new MAGI based Medicaid in the expansion is based solely on income, with no resource test. Non expanded states have the old Medicaid, which only kicks in once almost all resources have been spent down, and your income is minimal. You basically have to be destitute to get it.
Now, I understand why some states, mine included, refused to expand Medicaid. They said they could not afford it. The money for Medicaid does not all come from the Fed, and the states have to pitch in.
