any help would be great
What is access health care? If it's health insurance that you pay for out of your own pocket, it's fine. If it's Medicaid or another fedeal or state-funded health insurance program for low-income people, it probably is means-tested.
"Means tested" benefit is a benefit that is funded by the state or federal government and has been determined to be a "means tested" benefit by the government that funds it.
Federal benefits that must be repaid are: Supplemental Security Income (SSI), food stamps, TANF, non-emergency Medicaid, and SCHIP.
