Medicaid v Medicare

What are the major differences between Medicaid, Medicare? Which covers more? Since Obamacare thrusts so many into Medicaid, and has raised income limits, can a retiree chose Medicaid over Medicare? Can I assume a person who retires early (at 62) and can't get Medicare until 66, can get Medicaid?

You can be on Medicaid before 65 years old and be on both Medicare and Medicaid after 65. I don’t think you can be on Medicaid only after 65 unless you are ineligible for Medicare.
