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.

YOU KNOW FOLKS, “IT” PROMISED CHANGE AND TRANSPARENCY IF ELECTED- AND “IT” DID NOT PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY BUT DID EFFECT CHANGE – FOR THE WORSE. FOLKS, YOU WERE MARRIED AND TOOK VOWS BEFORE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. YOU CAN STILL LIVE TOGETHER, AS A PIECE OF PAPER MEANS NOTHING (IN MY HUMBLE OPINION). Live in the Peace of God.
You call Obama “It” and then say “live in peace with god”? Wow.
This is way worse than wrong thank you Obama
@truth and action what a $#%&!@*ing piece of $#%&!@* bigot you are you intolerant moron
This is very sad. What did they do for medical care before Obamacare?
Same as here to my husband has kidneys & liver failure other health problems he is medically needy cost is over $100,000 a month and health service to now and I needed surgery on my foot that was broken in half and I walk on my heal now, I never could get the surgery. we are thinking of maybe a divorce after 38 years being together. We can not afford Obama care or his fines at all, it is way more then our income. We had good insurance be four Obama care.
I read Bumper stickers that read “I Love Obamacare” It is nice that Ignorant people don’t mind standing out to be counted. A disaster from the first lie from AARP. You can keep your Doctor… You can keep your Commie Care . Another Libtard SNAFU

Very Very Sad.
Well they can do it on paper alone just to beat the system. Granted my views on marriage is bait different as its just a Government Authorized Contract anymore. Instead of a holy ceremony of two lives joining together for better or for worse.
CR says:
“And, they are in this pinch, because Tennessee refused to expand medicaid to cover them.
Not because of “Obamacare”, but because of the Tennessee governor.”
