What do I do if I accept inheritance of land abroad but I might lose my Medicaid and SSI?

I am 66 years old male on SSI. I will inherit a land overseas that worth $28,000. It is very hard to sell it. I don't want the inheritance, because If I accept it, I might lose my Medicaid and SSI. I have glaucoma in one eye, and eye stroke in the other eye
that needs monthly treatment which cost $3,800. If I lose my medicaid I can't afford the treatment. What can be done so I won't lose my Medicaid and SSI?

Thank you for your respond. I did what you suggested and searched on this website. My problem is completely different, and none of the posts could be helpful.

Here is an article that might help.

I also entered "inheritance while on Medicaid" in the search bar on this site and several very interesting threads came up.
You could also use inheritance while on SSI.
