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’m shocked, stunned, in disbelief… Surely our elected officials in Washington DC wouldn’t do this to us, the “People”… Yeah, right, and I believe in global warming, too! If there is such a thing it is because of all the hot air coming from Washington, D.C.
wouldn’t it be better if they lived without insurance.
Personally, I don’t want to know Any person thinking obama has done anything right! (I erased the rest of what I was going to say, stupid is as stupid does, they wouldn’t get it anyway!)
This insurance mess that Obama has created is the worse thing to happen in the in country in a very long time. It has to be fixed because it has all ready cost too much and is not getting better.
Obamacare is a scam. Shoulda just offered Medicaid and Medicare to a higher pay bracket.
The republican versions were never allowed to get to the senate floor thanks to Harry Reid….
Don’t divorce. Fight this all the way to the supreme court.
OFTEN the only way to get help.
no need to divorce he lives next door
I do not like or agree with Mr. Obama, on the other hand all of us people who are on here complaining, let’s vote these horrible people out of office, one at a time if need be! Do your home work, listen to these candidates….really listen and if your heart tells you “no way” vote for the one who sounds the most honest……I know what your thinking, “there are no honest politicians out there”, there must be…..try!
