You may be eligible Medicaid & Medicare(M&M) and won't have to worry about Medigap or Medicare part C. You should not enroll in a private health insurance plan that allows dual coverage for medicaid & Medicare. They are horrible plans and most Doctors/Clinics won't take people with it. With Medicaid many communities have community health clinics that accept M&M patients. You also may be eligible for waiver of the $175 per month fee for Medicare Part B(DR & Outpatient care). You don't have to worry at all about Medicare Part A.

Good Luck.
