Don Sundquist was a very unpopular Republican Gov. of Tennessee, especially since he raised taxes and pushed some kind of Gov. healthcare program that cost a fortune. Hearding south one afternoon, I accidently hit an NPR interview about Tennesseecare. It was a nightmare. Since it cost so much, they had to ration healthcare. One hell of a socialist nightmare.
The guy didn't meant to indict the program, but as he explained the history and the changes, it's was self-indicting.
It was actually the Gov. before Sundquist, Ned Ray McWhorter that invented Tenncare. you probably won't be surprised to know that he is a Gore relative.
