As a 19 year old college student living with her parents but providing for herself, making about $10,000 a year but still having to pay for school, how much does medicaid cost, if anything?

I just got approved for medicaid (yay!) but the benefits have yet to come through.

My mom is disabled but my dad just got a new job, meaning that he makes just 200 dollars more than the cutoff that allowed for my brother and I to stay on my mom's medicaid. I applied for it by myself, because I live with them only 4-5 months of the year now, and medicaid had an option for myself to apply because I currently am not covered by my parents.

I also live in Michigan, that's probably important, sorry. And I'm a girl.

Do you know about how much that might cost? My parents would be willing to pay me back for it, but right now they can't find any affordable options (we're like a million dollars in debt, dad had a big building investment that failed so I'm being honest in that number), and his work won't cover us because we missed the application date by 5 days (we didn't realize we were going to get denied medicaid because… well my parents are always the most intelligent.)

Thank you! 🙂
