Horse Hillary! What do you call angry citizens shutting down downtown Nashville and state offices then? He would have had majority support but he didn't have the stomach for confrontation which seems to be an ongoing issue with him. His chance was then. Everyone knew Tenncare was the reason. Where was Fred? Calling on Fred was as useless as calling on John Wilder.
For the record to my liking of Tenncare would be shutting it down and the far more limited but directly accountable to the people Medicaid program restored under original mission scope. I worked under both systems and know when the state surveyors investigated that answers were forthcoming. I know the Tenncare system also. Zero accountability of taxpayer dollar and zero representation in Nashville or DC as well. There is no representation with Tennscare. With it being both state and federal funded it goes against the very foundations of both state and federal Constitution. Go ahead. Call your state lawmaker about Tenncare and see for yourself. It's a Ponzy Scheme. If taxpayer dollars are being spent on a state and or federal program then our elected should be accessible and responsible for addressing grievances and accountable for such spending.
I live there, bud, have my entire life, I know what goes on here. Again, you have a very bizarre notion of how government works. Asking Fred to act like a dictator, ordering (!) the Governor to change TennCare to the specifications YOU want it to be ? Blame Scumquist for not doing anything about the problem and stop blaming peripheral figures who had no authority to change STATE policy.
As for your suggestion to call my “elected officials” (what a joke), I’ll let you know my Congressman is a moonbat more interested in campaigning for Obama, my State Senator is a Black leftist moonbat who pays no attention to Whitey in the suburbs and my State Rep. is a crooked bitch whom I surmised took payoffs for zoning changes while on the Metro Council. Think they’re interested in doing the right thing ?
BTW, are you still supporting that traitorous asshat Williams in East TN that wants to put the 90-year old incompetent Wilder back in as Lt Governor and MY pig-ignorant State Senator into a Chairmanship ? You ain’t doing ME any favors, bud.
