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.

Sure Louis, and give up your right as citizens–how can you NOT blame obamas AKA, when all was well before it ???
What “right as citizens” has anyone given up regarding the ACA? In who’s mind was a “well” before it? Millions with pre-existing conditions can get coverage at affordable priceswho might well have died before the ACA and I’m one of them. Your comment is ignorant.
Louis , think about what you just said ! These people can’t afford obama care and you tell them to move to a state that has expansions on it ! What will they use for money to Move on ? Monopoly Money ? Louis You are a MeatHead ! Plain and Simple !

“Why don’t you read some of the other comments. Why don’t YOU open your mind to the issues that are happening rather than just the “helping others” angle. That’ angle is all well and good but it’s causing harm to many people. No one is laughing at anyone, that is just your narrow-minded perception.”

It is NOT because of the ACA, it’s because the people who voted for the Republican governors got exactly what they wanted, now deal with it !!!
more and more couples are having to divorce to get any kind of benefits.people who have been married 20,30 years are having to give up their marriages just because the $#%&!@* running the country is driving us down further everyday
Bullcrap. There are no factual statistics to back up that propagandist claim.
Bet you Michelle and Barak stay married and healthy
this is obama,s america,and all you $#%&!@*s voted him in
Understand that Obama was voted in twice, and by large margins. Republican states that refuse to work with the ACA are dooming millions to continued life with no affordable health care. Many will die because of Republican ideologies based on the virulent hate expressed by people like the haters here. Ugly and despicable. People like these haters drag America down to their level.
As Ronald says this is Obama’s world those who,are seriously ill.Will go without health insurance or like this couple,above divorce.I remember when Romney was running the Democrats said,that he.Would throw granny over the cliff well it looks like Obama’s doing exactly that.But not only granny any one who can not afford Obamacare,is in.The same situation if they have to choose between house payment,food,clothes or car payment also schooling.But Muslim Barrack Hussein Obama and Michelle do not have,to choose.They have everything at the expense of the American Taxpayer.
God help us all! In addition to rote memorization of misinformation, It looks like Fox news is now teaching lessons in grammar and punctuation.
