“Sheep have more rights” than TennCare enrollees. “Bridges’ case shows why the TennCare cuts are so unfair and so outside the values of Tennessee. She has lived a contributing life. She raised her kids and now they are contributing. She represents Tennesseans who are paying taxes, and our government says “no” to them in their time of need. And like thousands of Tennesseans, she has had to be battered by a faceless accuser in an atmosphere of intimidation where security guards are present if you fight too hard for your survival.”
