Sorry for being gone so long, but after the lose of a dear friend on this site and everything with my husband..things have been crazy here. Wondering if anyone else has been through this or has advice. As you know my husband has Stage 4 oral cancer, he was told the only way to get insurance to cover treatment was to quit his job to get insurance..done. Got insurance, did treatments, applied for SSDI..got it..now the problem. Since he was approved for disability(2 children getting check from him too) your income is above the qualifing guidelines (this is Tenncare) and you are losing your coverage. WTF.. now what?? Am I supposed to quit my little job, get legal separation, divorce, sit back and watch him suffer??? It seems everytime we get a few steps ahead, we get knocked down again. There is no way we can make it on what they draw a month, but Tenncare doesn't care. Any advice..done venting..for now. cry
