Linda and Larry Drain have been married for 33 years but are now forced to separate because of the pitfalls of Obamacare and their state Medicaid program .
Stuck in a health care coverage gap, their combined income is too little to qualify for Obamacare subsidies yet exceeds the limit on unearned income to qualify for TennCare after Larry opted for early retirement.
Linda has epilepsy and must take expensive medication so she can’t do without insurance. Larry is without insurance but he has a hernia and is living on hope that he suffers no complications as he can’t afford surgery.
They have been appealing to Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam in numerous letters to expand TennCare.

Wait, Obama said Obamacare would save the American Family 2500 Dollars a Year.
There ya go! Don’t get sick people. You just can’t afford it.
Obamacare is going to save a family money….because at least 1 or 2 are going to die and thereby reduce the cost of that family living.
Disgraceful, and Obummer and the Dimowits want money to help illegals.
So what about 30+ years ago? What did they do? I can’t imagine these health issues came out of nowhere or that they never had opportunities for other health options before it got to shut point. This is like a baby mama with 5 kids complaining she gets no support when she was already jobless before the first one was born…no one told you to have kids. But idk my dad raised me that if him and my mom were strugglin for whatever reasons at an old age, focus on myself and let them be cuz they had their WHOLE lives to get it together. And my parents don’t have insurance, but have no issues paying any title of medical bill out of pocket, even if it’s something that popped up outta nowhere. SO what’s the real issue? Coverage, or people’s lifestyles they lead?
OH THAT MAKES SENSE ??? THAT’S BECOME THE AMERICAN WAY. IDIOTS !! V
Divorce o$#%&!@* from the U.S.A..
And the state isn’t expanding medicaid.
This is just sick, to think about American, in this kind of a mess, sure can tell GOD is not in it.
THIS IS SO SAD, THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GET A DIVORCE JUST TO GET HEALTH INSURANCE. SOMEBODY SHOULD HELP THEM, LIKE THEIR REPRESENTIVE OR SENATOR IN CONGRESS.
