In 2006, then-Governor Phil Bredesen signed CoverTennessee into law giving thousands of people not purged off TennCare access to some type of health care. It not only helped small business owners, but also struggling families and children.

Fast forward to today the state says the looming Affordable Care Act means the program has to go away because it doesn't meet new federal guidelines that begin January 1st.

Thanks Sen. McCain, Mcconnel, Corker, Alexander and Rep. Boehner!!

My brother is losing his health insurance thru CoverTN next year. How can I convince him to vote Republican when they are reponsible for funding a program which ended his health insurance!

Same as in Washington State where Basic Health ends Dec 31, 2014. But many have already been enrolled in Expanded Medicaid (around 22,000 as of the 14th).

He can’t see that there would be nothing to be forced to fund if the ‘rats hadn’t rammed CommieCare through using shenanigans, in the first place?

Well, he's in the same position we here at FR are concerned with-we obviously can't vote for the fast track to totalitarianism. we can't vote for the “slightly slower track”, so we're looking for good conservative candidates to vote for. Beyond that, we're all stuck. Even when you vote for an avowed conservative, you get no guarantee that they won't turn at the first chance they get. But voting for the ‘rats, you know for a fact you're getting the shaft.

That I agree with.

I still remember when Dem Sen leader Tom Daschle was ousted. It shocked the DC establishment. That type of action by voters is needed again.

Tenncare has been a failure since day one. I had a big dose of 0’care for the last few days, and you get Mooch’s food plan on top of it.
