来看看你最崇拜的chatgpt是怎么说的,meidcaid怎么可能让你有12m存款还能qualify, 你把美国政府当sb了么, 除了加州这种诈骗大洲,全部都要查asset
Here’s a breakdown:
- Federal Baseline Rules
 
Medicaid is a means-tested program: both income and assets are reviewed.
Countable asset limits:
Single applicant (most states): $2,000
Married couple (both applying): $3,000
Exempt assets (not counted):
Primary residence (up to a home equity limit, often $688,000–$1,033,000 depending on state)
One car
Personal belongings, household goods
Certain prepaid burial arrangements
- State Variations
 
While most states follow the $2,000 / $3,000 federal minimum, here’s how some differ:
Texas (and most southern states) – Strict: $2,000 for single, $3,000 for couple. Very limited allowances.
New York – More generous: in 2025, resource limit is $31,175 for a single applicant (going up each year as they transition to more income-based rules).
California – Since Jan 2024, no asset test for most Medicaid programs (Medi-Cal) except for long-term care. Only income matters now.
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota – Have higher thresholds and more flexible “spousal impoverishment protections” (community spouse can keep more).
Alaska & Hawaii – Slightly higher asset limits due to cost of living adjustments.
- Long-Term Care Medicaid (Nursing Home / Waiver Programs)
 
Rules are tighter here because costs are high.
Still typically $2,000 limit for an individual in most states.
Spousal protections: “Community spouse” may keep between $30,828 and $154,140 (2024 figures, adjusted annually).
- Medicaid Planning
 
People sometimes “spend down” assets to qualify (pay debts, home improvements, medical needs).
Look-back period: States review asset transfers 5 years back (2.5 years in California for some programs). If you gave away assets to qualify, Medicaid imposes a penalty period of ineligibility.
 Summary Table (2025 Snapshot):
State	Individual Asset Limit	Couple Asset Limit	Notes
Texas	$2,000	$3,000	Strict
California	No limit	No limit	Except long-term care
New York	$31,175	$42,312	Rising annually
Florida	$2,000	$3,000	Similar to Texas
Illinois	$2,000	$3,000	Standard
Massachusetts	$2,000	$3,000	But generous spousal rules
Connecticut	$1,600	$3,200	One of the lowest
Alaska	$3,000	$4,500	Higher for cost of livi

medicaid不同州可能有不同方法吧。我是看chatgpt说的。

但不管如何,有ACA不看asset就够了。12米很多现在还动不了,要是ACA没几个钱干嘛不买?
