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.

Reclaim the conversation
by hopeworkscommunity

The dominant conversation about expanding TennCare defines opposition to expansion as being supportive of freedom and being for financially responsible choices. It is neither, but a conversation with such a dominant narrative is unlikely to be one we are effective in.

We must make an attempt to reclaim the conversation. In a small way that is what this website is trying to do.

I am starting to hear from other people who are joining the "Dear Governor Haslam" campaign. They too will be writing and asking others to join them. One major statewide organization has offered their support (Tennessee Health Care Campaign). Another major state organization has also offered their support and I hope to announce them by the end of the week.

Will you help? Help us to reclaim the conversation. Help make TennCare expansion possible and ultimately reality for so many.
