Bill > HB2545

This bill authorizes an advisory question to be placed on the ballot for the regular November election in 2016, asking voters if healthcare should be extended to over 250,000 Tennesseans through the expansion of Medicaid during the 2017 annual session of the 110th General Assembly. Medicaid is a government program that provides health coverage to eligible low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults, and people with disabilities. The "110th General Assembly" refers to a specific legislative session of the Tennessee state government. This bill does not mandate the expansion of Medicaid but rather seeks public opinion on the matter.
