323,000 (Tenncare Cuts)

323,000 is the amount of people cut from their health insurance in Tennessee under the States' healthcare system, TennCare. The Governor of Tennessee, Phil Bredesen, ran on the ticket of saving TennCare. Instead, he dismantled it and cost many people their lives as a result. Governor Bredesen, Karl Meyers appear in this documentary

Seldona,

Thank you so much for the kind words. I am so glad my film had an impact on you.

That's why we need real reform under Bill Haslam. Mike McWherther is going to continue doingwhat Bredesen has done.

Bredesen is fine as far as Tennessee goes.

But Tennessee is what it is..........

Why is it that these types of politicians are re-elected by wide margins if the people think they are so bad?

He is not what I see in an HHS.

If you're so willing to give up your salary let me send you my address, Moodeyes.

Bredesen and his gang must GO. By the way what about those HUGE salary increases that Bredesen announced last week.

tncare was a pilot program that was never intended to be a permeant solution... And the Governor actually does not take a salary... he gives it back into the general fund...

if governemnt would just but out altogether it would be best. they are not there to save you, but to enslave you.

[Moodeyes54]

what kind of salaries do this govenor and his associates have? are they willing to cut their salaries in the need of helping others. i look at the salaries that we(as a society),are willing to pay so many people in this country(the high paid sports figures,actors,poloticians,etc­.).we (society) are so willing to give so much money to those who don't need it,yet we cringe when someone asks for a buck to help feed someone or get them medical help. we (society)are a sad excuse for a caring people.

[Seldona]

Not one comment on this? THAT is a tragedy.

Thank you for this. Changed my life.
