Is there such thing as too little income for marketplace health insurance?

If I get a part time job I feel like I'm going to earn an income somewhere on the cusp of medicaid and marketplace health insurance or even fluctuating from month to month inbetween even, which would obviously be a hassle in terms of having to flip back and forth between them.

I'm afraid of having gaps in my coverage if my income fluctuates a bit and think if I could just purchase a marketplace health insurance when I start to work would that be okay? Or am I not allowed to buy from marketplace if I qualify for medicaid? Would certain plans not be allowed for me to purchase (like gold plans) if I am in this lower threshold? Is the only thing that I won't get subsidy if I qualify for medicaid but buy a marketplace plan?

I know it might cost me a chunk of my paycheck but I can't afford to not have insurance since I have health issues so thought to ask. I know this is hypothetical, but again, I'm afraid of going without coverage and this seems to be the only way to deal with any fluctuation is to simply have the marketplace to begin with?

It seems like a lot of part time jobs can sometimes give different hours each week and might not necessarily always be the same so thought to ask. I am in Michigan.
