WATCH: “Mississippi is expanding Medicaid— will that ever happen here in Tennessee?”
Retiring Rep. Sam Whitson (R) says he does, when Republicans realize they’re hurting rural hospitals & the “working poor”
(TN is #1 in medical bankruptcies, has lost BILLIONS not expanding)
English

Rep. Sam Whitson, a Williamson Co Republican, is introducing a bill next week that would invalidate the 2014 Kelsey/Durham law placing Medicaid Expansion firmly in the hands of the #tnleg. This is an essential first step to passing expansion in TN.

There is NO Medical, Moral, or Monetary reason Tennessee should not Expand Medicaid. There is no downside. Let's at least do it before Alabama does, which may be next. There are only 9 states that haven't.
Jeff Yarbro@yarbro
Not going to lie, it’s hard to get my head around the concept of hoping Tennessee’s legislature will follow the lead of Mississippi. But here we are. By a huge margin the MS state house approved Medicaid expansion. The reason is really just math. And basic moral responsibility.

Tennessee lawmakers, WAKE UP! No more "Thank God for Mississippi". They are going to pass health coverage to the working poor while you sit on your hands.

Hear Hear @JasonWhiteMS!! This is the BEST mark you could make for the health of Mississippians! @ACSCANMS
