A Puzzling Omission


We did not find this story in either Sunday's or Monday's Commercial Appeal. Considering its potential for "doom and gloom" apocalypse-mongering amongst the press types, that's really odd. If someone has seen this elsewhere, please forward the link!

From the Monday USA Today, in the Across the USA column:

TennCare officials say they will disqualify up to 100,000 people, including 3,000 children, from the health insurance program by Jan. 1. Enrollees are being notified of an eligibility review. Officials say the changes are necessary to curb abuse and reduce costs. TennCare replaced Midecaid in Tennessee in 1994.

Note that "up to" 100,000 will be dropped. Still, why there's been no hue and cry over this is odd.

Until next time, that is all.
