There is no way they’re going to harm ACA. Does anyone actually believe a “future president” will dismantle a gargantuan government program affecting millions of people?

Anyone believing this is living in a state of denial.

Like it or not, we’ve got it and it’s permanent.

You're partially right. We'll have it until it begins to sink America financially.

The State of Tennessee put such a program into place long before Obamacare.

TennCare was established in 1994 under a federal waiver that authorized deviations from the standard Medicaid rules.

It was approx 6 to 7 years later that Tenncare consumed 70% of Tenn's annual budget. It was ALTERED dramatically and diminished. It still exists but without the power to suck up state funds as it first did.

Here's the timeline for what occurred:
