I hope they stand firm.
In Tennessee, Gov. Bill Haslam (R [Rotten]) was tying to expand Medicaid but the Republican State Senate and House shut him down. Haslam’s fallback position was that he was going to have discussions with HHS about some “middle ground” but nothing has ever come of it.
Republicans are just as eager as Dims to expand government, particularly when hospital lobbyists and other big business types put the full court press on.
Glad the conservatives in Nashville stood firm.
