That’s all well and good they could’ve just halted funding, but then Scumquist would’ve had to have done something else in its place. You know and I know that asshat couldn’t do anything right, so would you have trusted him to try to come up with an entirely new system ? With THIS legislature ? Your blaming Fred for that is a stretch. As for Frist, he was just plain incompetent. Lay the blame on Scumquist.
What’s it gonna’ be tonight “McLame vs Pretty Boy Mitt” or
“I’m Lying as Fast as I can Huckleberry” vs “Back N Mass Mitt” or “Did I mention 911 Rooty” vs Fred Thompson?
What would have happened would have been best for all concerned especially the taxpayers and those in actual need. It would have defaulted back to Medicaid like before and would have been once again overseen by the State Inspector Generals Office where at least there was representation and accountability.
It wasn't broke to start with and didn't need fixing until Medicaid in Tennessee was purposely destroyed by Dem and RINO alike.
BTW didn't some of Ned's former cabinet end up running a few of those Hey Moes? It was federal dollars involved so yes Fred was also to blame and I don't call that a stretch. I was one of many who wrote Dear Fred and Dear Sen Frist letters asking that they step in and stop the funding and the madness. It's a sad commentary on the state of the Tennessee GOP when it took a DEM Liberal Governor to finally take a needed stand.
