Caitlin and Corey Gaffer got a surprise letter from their insurance company: It was dumping them for nonpayment. Turned out, they’d sent a payment to the wrong address.

Oh, also: Caitlin was a few months from giving birth. Then, the pregnancy ran into complications.

Find out what happened to the Minneapolis couple in the first episode of “An Arm and a Leg” Season 2, a co-production of Kaiser Health News and Public Road Productions.
