Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

Gloria agrees with Tennessee hospitals, the Chamber of Commerce, nursing associations, doctor's associations, and 65% of all Tennesseans who support enacting Insure Tennessee for women, veterans and over 280,000 working Tennesseans now without access to the health care that they need. Without Insure TN, we stand to lose over 30 rural hospitals and thousands of jobs, not to mention the health and well being of thousands of Tennesseans. No one in Tennessee should lose their home because they get sick.

We also must take action to reduce the cost of healthcare by cracking down on waste, fraud and abuse. The facts are clear and the data is in, Insure TN will create 12,000 jobs, put people with health issues back to work, keep our rural hospitals open, and not cost our state a single penny.
