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.

I am going to have to do this so we can afford to live
This is not a joke and sorry to hear you too. My wife & I have started our divorce before this came out. I lost $562.00 a month since we was married. I’m completely disabled and I get $444.00 a month from Social Security which is SSD. I was hurt as a Fireman and hurt both legs & right arm and fire company completely turn their backs on me when I needed help. My lawyer wants to sue them but I can’t bring myself to sue because I loved being a fireman. What is keeping me going so far is I live in the country and own my own place. But yes, we have to divorce to make it in life.

thanks to liberals.
awful
They’ll save on TAXES too … married couples are punished for being married. Our tax laws also need an overhaul. They can get ACA healthcare, but it’s much cheaper for single people.
And who did not see c**p like this coming but lets not forget-Nancy Pelosi said we have to pass the law to see what’s in it. SHE had better not stay in Congress at all. Her days in Politics should be done for good folks. Lets get her and Harry Reid out of there.
Disgusting! If they are Married, thaey should be able to Stay married, and get off of Obamacare, that is a Failure!
