Can a dentist utilize government health insurance?

[AONLINE]

Dental student here, have been using government health insurance my whole life due to my parents’ low income. I’ll turn 26 next year when I graduate so I won’t be able to be under my parents’ insurance plan anymore. If I get a job that does not provide health insurance, do I have to go out and find a private insurance plan for myself? Can I continue to apply for government health insurance or will my income disqualify me from buying that?

Depends on your state.

Depends on your state.

There are states with no income limit for Medicaid?

Think about that for a minute. If there were no income limits, everyone would enroll.

Yup, that’s why I asked when sadleshoes said enrollment would be state dependent. Seems like a dentist obviously cannot enroll in Medicaid

Doesn’t your school offer you insurance? I mean I see the appeal of state insurance but don’t you want something a better? It’s your health we’re talking about.

I’m looking at options for after I graduate.
