Not to Marry

We have to go to all our appointments at Dartmouth-Hitchcock medical center in Lebanon New Hampshire and its a big hassle for us to drive an hour there and hour back for appointments.  The reason why we have to go back and forth, is that we heard that Dartmouth-Hitchcock is the best services there, so we decided to go there rather than Rutland.  Problem is that our insurances doesn't cover things like physical therapy, counseling, etc around our area because we are classed as a couple.    The government will also decrease our food stamps even more for being a married couple.  How do they expect two people who are on disability to live off very low food stamps?  I could never understand this.  it just doesn't make any sense.

Because of this we had made a decision and that decision was not to get married and just become roommates.  We will keep the wedding bands as a symbol as if we were married.  We go back to being roommates and not get married we could get coverage that we need in our area as single person for counseling, physical therapy, etc.  Our food stamps will also go up.  I am hoping that our rent goes down too.
