I have seen it happen. Just like some families have one insurance policy that comes from the husbands employer and another policy that comes from the wife's employer. (which is a horrible waste since both are paying premiums. But congress made the rules and one cannot opt out of employer provided insurance and decide to get the money instead)Fortunately, they don't both (medicare and medicaid) pay on each claim.Or did you mean "how can one qualify for both" The answer is that if one is old one can qualify for medicare and if one is broke one can qualify for medicaid and if one is both one can qualify for both. Medicare however lets you have access to more doctors and with better outcomes. Another distinction is that medicare was designed as forced insurance in which one pays premiums and gets benefits but medicaid is designed so that someone else pays the cost and the recipient gets welfare.
