Dear Governor Haslam

Larry Drain, Legislative Liaison on State Legislative Affairs, is writing a letter each day to Governor Haslam urging him to accept Medicaid Expansion for Tennessee. Thousands of our fellow consumers are needlessly suffering as a direct result of the Governor's rejection of Medicaid Expansion as offered in the ACA. These consumer's mental health will continue to deteriorate until mental health care is provided and the mental health care system in Tennessee is improved and expanded. This blog is established to give a platform for the presentation of Larry's letters.

Dear Governor Haslam: A Second Thirteenth Letter

A second 13th letter: 32,000 people
Dear Governor Haslam:

This is my second 13th letter.

32,000 people.  That is the number of seriously mentally ill people that without Tenn Care expansion will not have any access to services.

If they do not have help with their lives the consequences of their living will impact all of us.  They already do.  They fill our jails, our streets, our communities.

A total of 80,000 people with some degree of mental health issues will remain uninsured barring expansion.  It is the right thing to do financially, socially, and morally.  It is the right thing for Tennessee.

Please speak out.  Expand Tenn Care.

Until tomorrow,

Larry Drain
