Medicaid in Florida

I've been trying for 3+ years to get Medicaid and every time I apply I get denied. Recently I got denied because my disability application was also denied ( I was told I was denied because I don't have much of a medical history besides hospital visits, but they acknowledge that I have big limitations when it comes to movement).

For context, I am 24 y/o and I still live with my parents, and I'm unable to move because I can't hold a job because of my medical issues: essential tremors, chronic back pain/numbness, and autism. I've been desperately looking for a job that has the ability to compensate in hopes that I'd eventually be able to buy a marketplace plan, but I feel like me living with my parents is guaranteeing my denial for Medicaid when I desperately need health coverage. Like recently, my caring sister gave me enough money to get a quick checkup and they discovered potential issues with my thyroid ( low free t4 and low thyroid stimulating hormones), but I'm unable to get any follow-ups due to financial issues. My parents are both also disabled so I can't ask them for help, I feel hopeless, and I feel like I'll be stuck like this forever unless I literally become homeless. If anyone has any advice that they think would help me in my situation, PLEASE, let me know! All I want is to become healthy enough so I can support myself.
