The Tenncare program was what replaced the old Medicaid system in Tennessee. It was put into place by VP Gore and a DEM governor. It was blackmail and extortion from HMO's from the get go. Fred had a partial term and a full term to call the hand of the governor and HMO's on the corruption and didn't. Part of the funding came from what was the Heath Care Finance Administration. The state budget nearly defaulted while a RINO was in the governors office. It set off a major tax revolt as well. I know you're not that Fred LOL.
