What have Democrats got against work?
Legislation was approved in a Tennessee House subcommittee Wednesday that would direct the state Department of Finance and Administration to seek a federal waiver in order to impose work requirements on able-bodied, working-age adults without dependent children under 6 who are TennCare beneficiaries.
But Democrats squawked as if the measure were asking folks to walk into a burning building.
They’re trying “to kick people off” TennCare (the state’s Medicaid program), state Rep. John Ray Clemons, D-Nashville, said.
“Part of the problem” is moving “so quickly to get rid of people” on TennCare, state Rep. JoAnne Favors, D-Chattanooga, said.
