Now if only more republican governors had the balls to start throwing more people off medicare. NOt that i'd ever vote for bredesen, but i do respect the fact that he unlike the other 99% of his party would throw people off medicare to help balance the budget.
This is what happens when a government promises more than its taxpayers can or want to afford. It is going to be hard to be the Governor of Tennessee for a while ... until the TennCare mess is fixed. And the new Governor should remember that ...
You should never feed a bear -- it doesn't understand "all gone".
It's not like he has a job or anything to go in the morning anyway....
These people make me sick. They fought and fought and fought to get everything covered, and then when the well ran dry, they're screaming because there's nothing left.
I heard the Governor on the Halloran Hilton Hill show several months ago talking about what they've been forced to cover - the one that stood out most was a heroin addict's methadone treatment. Now, the treatment itself, that's one thing - but the TennCare was being forced to provide a rental car to the junkie so he could go back and forth for his methadone treatment. Gee - and a bus or taxi wasn't good enough?
