Did I hear this right?

[dflprincess]

So, I'm back in Nashville until Wednesday and I thought I heard on the local news this morning that 120,000 people are going to be cut off the state medical program? (Sorry, I can't remember the name of the program).

We've got 30,000 being cut off Minnesota Care and I thought that was bad!

1. You heard right

It's an attempt to take control of the costs of Tenncare.

Letters are going out this week from what I heard on the news.

2. Well, hello there dflprincess. I live about 20 miles north of Nashville

I hope you have a nice visit in Nashville. And yes, it's sad that so many people will be without medical coverage in the state of TN.

3. Unfortunately, I don't have a car

so I haven't been able to see much. I'm in the Green Hills area. I gotta say, though, there's always a lot of talk about "Minnesota Nice", but I think Nashville has us beat. Everyone here is so friendly.

If I did have a car I'm be scoping out the historical sites. Fortunately, I did get to the Hermitage (sp) several years ago when a couple friends and I took a rode trip to Gatlinburg or it would be killing me to be so close to something like that and have no way of getting to it.

4. Bet they wish they went for Gore in 2000 now, don't they? To all

Tennesseans who voted for *. TOO BAD!:nopity: To all others....sorry. :-(

6. I wish like hell they had, too. That still disgusts me to this day

when I think about it. You expressed my sentiments on this well.

5. More people have been cut off?

*sigh* Everything is so messed up. On one side I wish Bredesen would take a page from Clinton's book and tax the top 1-2%. I think he's not because he wants to keep campaign promises.

7. If he does not keep the promise

We could see a re-call..
