Hello

You have to go to the medicaid office and file for
insurance for your child, they should not refuse him
since he has a disability. the best thing to do is to
put down you income only and not your husband. or if
you are not working just let them know you husband is
not working. but you must go to the medicaid office
and file out the appplication .
