Unbelievable,People that have worked all there lives and paid there b dues,When they retire they should not have to worry about paying alot for health care ,they should be given it for free not a crappy plan ,a top rated plan all states should have the same plans for seniors
The way the world is going today then American people don’t matter anymore
Tennessee should be number 9. Unless,less you live in a big city. If you live in a small town patient have to wait 6-8 month to get an appointment with a specialist. I moved from another state to Tenn. was shocked to find such poor treatment in the Knoxville area. UT the only decent hospital for miles.
