I was on TennCare for 6 years and was one of the first to get cutoff under phil bredesen....For six years I was on medication that cost's about $600.00 a month.and the year before I was cut out TennCare cover a new prosthesis that cost over $48000.00....I was never asked to contribute a dime for anything although I could have.....That is the main reason it failed....if they had just asked for a $2.00 copayment for prescriptions the plan would have been workable....and just remember, it was a democrat that cut the uninsurable and truly needy off...

nothing personal but why should taxpayers subsidize your healthcare?

that is the big question here....

unless you are a veteran and can go to a VA or however they provide promised care...which Obama wants to end unless you were a draftee

when I was a kid everyone who did not have healthcare went to county clinic or public/charity hospital

go to Meharry’s emergency room now and no one is there because they know Vandy, St Thomas and Baptist have to take them

this notion that everyone is ENTITLED to the Mayo Clinic level of healthcare is nuts

this is not really directed at you and I agree we have to care for folks so poor they can’t get private insurance but I don’t think that care should be equal or better than those paying just as a matter of fact, it should just be adequate

the dems aren’t pushing theis for charity, they are doing it for political power and once it starts it’s hard to roll back
