NPR story on healthcare in Tennessee

You can click the link below to listen and/or read a story that aired on NPR about the 200,000 residents of Tennessee who were dropped from the TennCare healthcare plan to solve the state's budget crisis. It documents some pretty sad stories about the hard choices people are forced to make when they lose their health insurance. People are forced to decide between food and medicine, can't seek treatment for chronic illnesses and rely on emergency care. It's an outrageous situation that's too typical these days.
