Not only is its legality questioned but not a single hospital or uninsured individual would be saved.

About What About Us?
From the publisher's feed
What About Us is a discussion about policies that impact rural Tennesseans. We dive into a variety of topics like healthcare, small businesses, employment, education and the environment. Tennessee is 93% rural with over 1.5 million residents, but resources and attention are often directed to urban areas. The rural way of life is valuable and we want to preserve it.
