I suggest that you consult an attorney who specializes in Elder Law to learn how to apply so your interests are protected. Gather all of your documentation about income, assets, etc. to make the visit most effecient.
I am so sorry you are dealing with this so early in the marriage.
Here's some informative information about Medicaid: who's eligible, how it works, etc. If you don't own anything, there's probably no rush to consult an elder law attorney; yet my instincts tell me that, when you develop specific questions that can't be answered on line, you probably out to spend an hour with one.
