Just to clarify, Medicaid is available to the disabled (if you are not already receiving Medicare), to pregnant women in poverty, to children in poverty, and to limited income families with children who meet the state's eligibility requirements for that state(SC's) Aid to Families with Dependent Children.
Another point to keep in mind. You can only receive Social Security benefits if you have earned W2 income at some point in your life, and if you earned a sufficient Social Security credits, which is 10 years in order to qualify for benefits. This means that if you earned only 1099 income, cash income or any other type of income during your working life, you are ineligible to receive Social Security benefits in old age.
Some elderly in the US do not qualify to receive Medicare or Social Security. However if you become homeless, and you are elderly(65 or older), then the good news is that you may be eligible to receive healthcare through medicaid, food stamps through SNAP and Supplemental Income. But since you are homeless, and you mostly likely do not have transportation. . . or any other resources to help you locate a medicaid provider. . . it will be difficult to find out about those resources, let alone apply to receive them.
