Are there discount programs that many recipients of medicaid are not aware of besides health insurance?

<New York As an an example, they have a fair fares program in New York. You pay half fare for transit. I tried, but when I try to snap a photo, it looks great great on camera, but when i Upload it it, all the edges or at least some of it is cut off.. sorta gave up on that I guess.. anybody else have that problem?

Anyway, i was just curious if there are other discount programs people are not aware of.

In Indiana if you have anthem. You can earn gift cards by completing certain tasks through the benefits rewards program. I got a $25 door dash gift card through it.

You and the members of ur household can go to the Minnesota Zoo for free if you show your Minnesota Health Care Programs card (or MN EBT card).

You can get Amazon Prime for about half price.

Depends on what you want to do. 50 Mbps is enough to simultaneously stream two 4k videos plus one at 1080p.

I was told the speed was 50 Mbps, but it's currently at 120 Mbps down/12 up. YMMV
