A federal judge says that Bredesen can't just decide to cut people from TennCare without first securing changes to consent decrees, according to the Tennessean:
The ruling puts on hold — at least temporarily — the governor's plans to overhaul the $8.7 billion TennCare program. It comes three days before Bredesen is to deliver his State of the State address, in which he will outline his state budget priorities to lawmakers.
The KnoxNews is reporting that Bredesen "will proceed as planned" in the State of the State tomorrow and will present "a new state budget that counts on TennCare cuts." Apparently Phil has a lot of confidence in the state's legal team.
