Did you mean Medicaid? There is no income test for Medicare, but there is for 'Caid. It is far from a perfect scheme and don't wish to portray it as such. But it does exist and does help people who qualify. It just doesn't go far enough, and it is expensive the way it's run now, which leads to resistance to expansion.
