Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam won’t extend Medicaid for the poor under President Barack Obama’s health-care law, saying it might put hospitals in financial jeopardy.
Haslam, 55, a Republican, told lawmakers yesterday that Obama’s health-care overhaul might force hospitals to close as they lose money now channeled to caring for the poor.
