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.

Move to California or call Saint Joseph Hospital in Orange County…my wife has epilspy and it only cost $15 per month…divorcing because of Obama care is a farce…you’re looking for a handout.
He is the devils helper, and the devil doesn’t care and neither does Obama.
The Great Society.
that’s the whole idea.. of course you need to divorce to receive health care benefits. Because you make too much money? yes, of course. that’s the plan. you can either beat em or join em right? why not just both of you quit your jobs and stop paying into such a corrupt system? do you realize if we all do this how quickly Obama care will cease to exist? who is going to pay for it? if you and I won’t? who will?
Yeah they gotta blame their 33 years of fighting on something ! Lol
At least their still alive unlike some.
Thanks Obama
Hope all of you politicians that voted for Obamacare are really proud of yourselves. If it happened to this couple it could happen to you. Just another reason to vote those damn Democrats out of office.
Marriage is between you and God not Obamacare
obamacare sucks
