I guess for MEA, if you fly lower, you might not get navigational

Wouldn't it be called out as a MRA rather than an MEA ?
No.
MEA is defined for an airway segment, and at that altitude you are assured
to be able to get the VORs that define the airway. However, this altitude
may not be enough to get other VOR that defines an intersection. The
altitude at which you can define an intersection is called MRA, and it is
defined for the intersection. It has to be higher than MEA.
