I have a very good friend who is turning 60 years old in January. His costs on the health insurance he has now are going high sky. He owns his home and truck so, would he be able to get on food stamps for the time being? Or ACCCS? I believe that is called Medicaid? in other parts of the country. He is in financial trouble right now. I would greatly appreciate it if someone would be willing to answer this question.

It appears that you are not getting an answer because this is not really an insurance question. Yes, insurance for somebody turning 60 can be expensive. Medicaid is a social program, funded by the State and Federal Government, not insurance. In order to qualify, you must pass an income/asset test. I believe that the same may be true for food stamps. My suggestion would be for your friend to contact a local social services agency or agency for the aged. May want to start at your town/city hall. Many Americans are finding themselves in a position that they have never experienced before. He is not alone and their is help available. Good luck.
