Most of you know that I've written a book manuscript on TennCare. I've been struggling to get it published, but it has been used at Vanderbilt Law School as a text in a course. Anyway, here is a national news piece on the dangers of cutting Medicaid, and it cites what happened in Tennessee when the state cut TennCare:

I urge you to consider this piece and the real lives affected by Medicaid. Often, it's the sick, the weary, the poor who are trampled on by the healthy and the wealthy. Congress has already said that it is going to protect those most in need (and those who literally cannot protect their own interests against major companies because they are busy trying to stay alive). Make sure that your vote this election doesn't act as a death knell to many of the neediest in America.
