Can someone explain Medicare to me?

It looks according to this that I may qualify because they have a special program for the "working disabled" I do work one day a week. Am I missing something?

I live in NY, amazingly, I don't qualify for Medicaid as I also have a long term disability insurance through the hospital I used to work at in addition to the SSDI that I get. I did at one time qualify for spend down medicaid when I was first vented and had zillions of medical bills. Medicaid was a godsend then, but these days, I make too much according to them. Does anyone know if there is such a thing as GHP type of insurance like CAlifornia has in this state?
Jenn, I hope you qualify...each state has their own rules from what I understand. Fingers crossed for you, Medicaid covers home IV's, meds etc....
