What does Medicaid pay for? Do you still need private heath insurance if you have Medicaid?

Generally, Medicare pays for nursing home care, occasionally some home heath care, and other health needs, but you need to check with your state and find out because it's different everywhere and circumstances vary. Also, everyone needs to qualify financially which means very little money is left. Try your state Web site and type in "aging" for some help. Or, you can call your local Social Services.
