Here in Chicago you can go to the Department of Family Services where they service food stamp recipients along with Medicaid. They helped me after I got my disability payments. I don't know where you are at but you can contact your city's Department of Family Services...good luck...you certainly are paying a lot for Cobra and that too will run out as did mine unless you're in some kind of program that I'm not aware of (:

It all depends on how much money you have in a checking account, savings, and even in your retirement account. You have to be almost broke before you can get Medical Assistance. If you have kids to support, the qualifications are easier. Apply at your county Social Services Department.

You can apply for RSDI through Social Security for disability, and within two years you can get Medicaid, if you are still disabled.
