The state supported web site paints a rosy picture.
What a surprise.

Reimbursement rates to providers is .21 cents on the dollar of the providers COST.
So, providers see however many TennCare patients they are required to, then close their doors to Tenncare patients for the remainder of the year.

We already have socialism here, if you define "socialism" as governmental control over things deemed to be too essential for the common good to be left in the hands of the free market.
Our military, our educational system, Medicare, etc.
I have absolutely NO IDEA what "liberties" or "rights" they are talking about.

We have corporate socialism.......Risks are socialized and profits are privatized.....

Again, what rights are we giving up when we deal with healthcare as a social responsibility?

Yes, and the left seems to love tax increases when they fail to pay their own. And the left loves to rail on capitalism while lining their own pockets with cash. But when the sheeples mindlessly vote for a candidate because he/she talks a good game the only thing to hope for is a butterfly ballot or the Darwin ballot as I like to call it.

Perhaps, if this was coherent, it would drive home a point.
