I am a disabled veteran. I was granted 70% IU, so my health benefits are covered. We have had my wife and daughter on her works health coverage for the last
1 1/2 years but she will be out of work after this summer. My VA benefits and SSDI together are too much money to qualify for any low income health care
through the State of Maine. Our options are Cobra, or other expensive avenues. Can anyone point me in the right direction? My VA compensation is going to be
reviewed in the future, and I'm hoping for 100% P and T, but that won't happen for a while.

Your situation is exactly why we need Universal Healthcare. I did a search for Maine medical but couldn't find anything to pass on to you.

jchaos2,
Sorry but I see only Cobra, or other expensive avenues. Been there and done that. It is the pits. I chose Cobra but wow.  Thankfully did not have to do it for long.

If you're IU then ChampVA is your provider for families medical -- or am I missing something?
