I have the same problem. My fiance is disabled and his meds come to 30k+ a year. He gets help from Medicaid in addition to his Medicare. If we marry, Medicaid will take my income into consideration, but NOT MY medical bills and cost of meds, etc. over what my insurance pays. That will discontinue his Medicaid help.

So here we sit, engaged for years and still not married...

Can't win for losing.
