Resumo“Lead with your heart and steer with your head.” Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen made this profound statement as he faced the decision of dismantling TennCare and returning to traditional Medicaid. This decision was economically based, and although more than 400,000 people would lose their benefits because of it, the rest of the population of Tennessee faced losing educational support from prekindergarten through college if costs continued to escalate. Realistically, the cost of health care continues to grow at a rate that is sapping other services for all Tennesseans, a story played out in many other states.
