Health Care
Last year the Affordable Care Act was voted into existence by Tennessee Democrats. Elements of this new law, which encourages better private-market competition, include a pre-existing condition health insurance plan. Under this plan children with asthma can now get coverage and stay on their parents’ health care plan. Tennessee Democrats have also sponsored the Medicare Information Act. This act makes sure that every taxpayer would receive information on their lifetime of Medicare contributions. The Tennessee Democratic party believes in making health care more affordable and accessible to everyone.

Famous quotes containing the words health and/or care:
“... work is only part of a man’s life; play, family, church, individual and group contacts, educational opportunities, the intelligent exercise of citizenship, all play a part in a well-rounded life. Workers are men and women with potentialities for mental and spiritual development as well as for physical health. We are paying the price today of having too long sidestepped all that this means to the mental, moral, and spiritual health of our nation.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Self-determination has to mean that the leader is your individual gut, and heart, and mind or we’re talking about power, again, and its rather well-known impurities. Who is really going to care whether you live or die and who is going to know the most intimate motivation for your laughter and your tears is the only person to be trusted to speak for you and to decide what you will or will not do.”
—June Jordan (b. 1939)
