>>emergency room "coverage,"

Emergency room coverage is not the same thing as health care...show up and they will stop the bleeding, but are they going to give you free chemo for 6 months if you need it?

There are a lot of things that will kill you that would never require an emergency room visit until it is too late.

TennCare is the "state" level of HillaryCare which would have consumed 1/7th of the national budget. READ about the FRAUD, WASTE and ABUSE of a program that covers only 25% of TN population..it's about to BANKRUPT the state. Dead, inmates, state employees, out of staters, illegals, out of COUNTRY folks are on TennCare and because of activists a federal judge has ruled we can't PURGE them off the rolls.

Folks with private ins who have premature babies have those babies automatically enrolled in TennCare. When you report some one has died who is on TennCare.......a year later they are still on TennCare.

One brain surgeon spent 11 hours operating on a patient and he got paid a whopping $150.00 for his services.

Hospitals in the state are squalling they are going bankrupt, docs are bailing because they aren't being paid for their services. It takes 6 months or more to get reimbursed at a small fraction of what your services are worth.

BUT the Dems want to implement this Nationwide. If TN can't afford it to cover only 25% of our population how can the Nation afford it for ALL the nation, plus the illegals?

TennCare audit
