If you go by Lamar!'s analogy of Medicaid being a medical ghetto, would the doctors that accept medicaid be equated with project housing?

It's not just the people on medicaid that he's insulted it's also the doctors that accept Medicaid that he's insulted.

2 questions to ask Lamar!:
1. When will he be giving up his government sponsored health care insurance?
2. How much did HCA (or should I say Hercules Holdings), Waller Lansden, etc., pay him to say that?

The "ghetto" business is a not-too-subtle dog whistle to the majority of white Republican racists in Tennessee. It appeals to the widely held opinion among white folks in this state that they'd rather have their own kids die from lack of health care rather than think that somewhere, somehow, some brown- or black-skinned kid might be getting free healthcare.

Thanks for making me aware of this. Here is the email I sent this morning:

Ghetto? Is that what you think of Tennesseans? Or just the non-white Tennesseans? I agree with the following: "The "ghetto" business is a not-too-subtle dog whistle to the majority of white Republican racists in Tennessee. It appeals to the widely held opinion among white folks in this state that they'd rather have their own kids die from lack of health care rather than think that somewhere, somehow, some brown- or black-skinned kid might be getting free healthcare." I am appalled and you need to apologize. Your rantings have nothing to do with dignified politics. I am ashamed to have you represent me.

Poor Lamar!

There are those who believe he doesn't really care about non-millionaire Tennesseeans.

Seems every time he opens his mouth he embarrasses Tennesseans.
