From what I gathered from the articals is that the State of Tenneessee had gotten in financial trouble and are raping all the entitlement programs to make up for it. Isn't Tenneessee a Republican State. This was messed up under Bush not Obama. EB
No Beaver. I placed no blame on anyone. We as a country don't need this financial fiasco. Any one with good walking around sense knows you can not save money by adding more people to a flawed insurance program. Tn governor Bredesen, a two term dem, warned Obama about this plan. He should know, he made millions in the health insurance business.
If you had taken the time to read, it states all the failures that we in Tennessee now live with and pay for in the forms of higher taxes. Our sales tax is 9.75% and is max and requires a tn constitution change to raise this tax. But, we get hit hard on property taxes. So, we end up paying for the 25% who receive Tn care.
Some people may need help, but, some people just dog butt lazy.
By the way Beaver, I voted for Bredesen. He was the less of the two evils.
