Cook: Jesus provided $200 million for health care

David Cook

When the Koch brothers reach heaven, I wonder what God will say to them.

(What’s that? Oh, right.)

If the Koch brothers reach heaven, I wonder what God will say to them.

The two — Koch and God — seem so alien to one another. Incongruent. Dichotomous. The Koch brothers are the billionaire backers of Americans for Prosperity. God? More like Americans for Leprosy.

Last week, the Koch brothers became the most influential Tennesseans who aren’t Tennesseans. Their hands lit the social dynamite that caused the implosion of Insure Tennessee, our state’s hybrid plan to expand Medicaid health insurance to nearly 300,000 poor Tennesseans who don’t have it.
