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: Twentieth Letter

10/24/2014

Dear Governor Haslam:

This is my 20th letter to you.

You have the ability to end a history.  Since Governor Bredesen began to dismantle Tenn Care thousands and thousands of people have found that the state of Tennessee is more dangerous than whatever sickness or injury they have.  Many have been hurt.  Many have seen the quality of their lives destroyed.  Many have died.  I dont think we will ever know how many.

I looked on You Tube this past night and it was astonishing how many people were just reduced to begging for their lives.  It was so sad.

Start a new history.  Tell thousands of people "it is not that way anymore."  Please....

Speak for Medicaid expansion.  Speak for us.  We have waited a very long time.

Until tomorrow.

Yours truly,

Larry Drain
