Who said medicaid eligibility is strictly income based under obamacare?

When i went to my state exchange they said they first have to check if i'm eligible for medicaid and they asked about my bank accounts and brokerage accounts and even IRA/401k plans. Thus it appears medicaid eligibility is still both asset and income based.!!!!

It's like this for all income equality checks. Your home and one car essentially "doesn't count" everything else is assets.

If you make 15k a year but have 100k in stocks, you're not poor.

And if you make nothing and have no stocks you are also not poor.

Then some assets do count in determining medicaid eligibility as they should. Lots of posters here at USMB have said they don't.
