I have to hand it to the Democrat gov. I never thought he would pull the plug. Bonnyman was such a prick before and now he is being force to play nice.
For those who don't know, Bonnyman's group was responsible for several lawsuits that were bankrupting Tenncare.
One lawsuit prevented patients from having to accept a much cheaper generic drug over a trademark name.
Another suit prevented the legislature from imposing a co-pay charge on office visits and prescriptions.
Another suit prevented the legislature from imposing restrictions on the number of prescriptions a person could get (the AVERAGE TennCare patient got THREE times as many prescriptions annually as Medicaid patients).
And yet ANOTHER bit of insanity, TennCare was forced to provide a rental care so that an heroin addict could have transportation to the methadone clinic!
And those are but a few.
Whoops - I thought it was gone (TennCare).....now he's examining a bailout? What gives?
As a Tennessee resident, let me be the first to say "scrap Tenncare". Its a monetary sinkhole, and should be the poster child for why the government should stay out of the health care business.
