"Tolling of the Bell" to save TennCare

[struggle4progress]

TennCare enrollees and their supporters gathered in Nashville Thursday in an effort to draw attention to what some are calling a medical massacre. On Monday, massive changes will take place in the TennCare system, with over 700,000 people effected:

-97,000 people will lose prescription drug coverage
-400,000 additional people will see their coverage limited
-290,000 could be cut from the program altogether <snip>

The tolling started at 12:00pm Thursday with Anderson County.

The Bell will toll every 4 seconds. Each toll will represent 10 of the 719,000 enrollees being cut. People from each county will come to Nashville to toll the bell. <snip>

1. Bye TennCare

Maybe now people will stop being on welfare and get jobs. Communism needs to be put down, damn it. :sarcasm:

If this doesn't get the idiots upset enough to avoid Republicans, they deserve what they get. Too bad TN doesn't care for it's own people.
