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: Seventeenth Letter

The 17th letter: What is wrong with saving money? Don't we need it?


Dear Governor Haslam:

This is my 17th letter.

I am confused.  If the federal government is going to foot the bill for medicaid does that not mean the money we would have used for medicaid could be saved or spent on some other need??  What is wrong with saving money??  Dont we need it??

Why do we never hear anybody talk about the opportunity federal money gives Tennessee?  Why??

Governor Haslam why havent these considerations been a more important part of the discussion??

Tennessee needs opportunity. Please expand medicaid.  The first voice must be yours.

Until tomorrow. 

Yours truly,

Larry Drain

How is it your wife has been on SSI all her life considering you were drawing an income? I'm always amazed at southern folks who consistently vote republican, against their own self interest, so those "others" do not get any free money when they themselves are sucking greedily at the government teat. You were hoping to get early retirement and live off your SS and her SSI that she did not earn? Talk of feeling entitled.
