Scary: Bredesen is on the Short List for HHS |
|
It appears that Governor Bredesen is on the short list for Secretary
for Health and Human Services since Tom Daschle has dropped out. When I saw this I could not believe it. It would be horrible for this
country. I believe that we can tell what a person will do by seeing what
they have done in the past.
Since July 2005, the Governor cut, cut, and cut TennCare. More than 250,000 low-income working adults lost their health insurance. The safety-net that was there which helped some is now gone. And his Cover Tennessee program is now helping only about 20,000 low-income working adults. Tennesseans died because of these cuts. He acted like the CEO of the managed care company where he made his millions and protected his bottom line. Governor Bredesen is the wrong choice for this country. We need leadership to expand coverage. Governor Bredesen does not know how to do this. You need to email the White House today and tell President Obama how you, your friend, or family members were treated when you lost your TennCare. You need to do this for your country. Governor Bredesen has caused serious harm to thousands of people. We don't want him doing this to the country. Go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ You
can also call, write, or fax President Obama: Tony Garr, Executive Director, tgarr@thcc2.org |
