The Henry Co Medical Ctr needs a miracle to keep its maternity dept open. @BCBST refuses to raise its @TennCare reimbursement rates higher than they were in 2009! So we tried to ask @GovBillLee what he’s doing to save the OB unit. Hear his response TONIGHT 📺 on @NC5 AT SIX.
We wanted to know what @GovBillLee is doing to save the Henry County Medical Center’s OBGYN ward after @BCBST refused to pay more for maternity care than it did in 2009! 😳 Turns out, not much. https://t.co/oPqddHWPZw
@JRClemmons@GovBillLee I don’t think they are just “pals.” They are his handlers. He works for them. The state of Tennessee and her citizens are simply a product to be sold to feed his greedy masters.
@TennCare@BCBST@GovBillLee our babies are worth as much as any baby at Vanderbilt and Centennial. Pay us fairly for doing your job. If the welfare of rural TN is important to you, put your money where your tweets are! @TheTNHollerMDC@HealthyFreeTN
🚨ICYMI: Henry County Medical Ctr asked BlueCross BlueShield to raise TennCare reimbursement rates to help the struggling hospital save its Ob unit. BCBS agreed to pay more, but nowhere near what the hospital needs to keep maternity ward’s doors open. ⬇️ https://t.co/ddIp64hdQX
@HealthyFreeTN@TNLookout@TheTNHollerMDC help us get Brandilyn’s message to Tenncare. Speaking for Hispanic moms in NWTN, she says, “Our lives are hard enough as it is without having to drive an hour away for healthcare.” @TennCare@GovBillLee
@TNHouseReps@tnsenate
stand up for Henry County Medical Center and our families. Use your collective power to encourage @BCBST to increase reimbursement rates for HCMC and ask @GovBillLee to instruct @TennCare to do their part to help facilitate fair payments to rural hospitals
@tenncare@BCBST contact HCMC now and “level up” reimbursement rates. Save the lives of NWTN moms and babies. #savehcmcob https://t.co/4oYOFuPi1H
My Story: How Henry County Medical Center's OB Unit Saved Us https://t.co/giFR7T7ycj via @YouTube
@VoteGloriaJ and @Tenncare refuses to pay hospitals equitably to deliver babies in rural TN leaving 1/3 of TN counties maternity deserts. We can’t abort and we can’t deliver.
WSMV report on HCMC OB pending closure. @TennCare@GovBillLee this story is not going away until Bluecare pays HCMC equitably for caring for moms and babies. https://t.co/TtZWfpEwLG
#savehcmcob
So women cannot get abortions without being hunted down across state lines, but we also can’t deliver babies because 1/3 of TN counties are maternity deserts.
😳 MADDOW: “Tennessee’s Attorney General says he intends to follow you out of state to get your medical records to see if you got an abortion somewhere else, where it is LEGAL.”
@AGTennessee Skrmetti’s outrageous, unhinged abuses of power continue.

Henry County Medical Center OB is still waiting to hear from Bluecare about increasing our reimbursement rates for moms and babies in NWTN. No help from @TennCare or @GovBillLee Thank you to @JRClemmons@NC5@NC5_JKraus and others all over TN and USA who are with us.
#1 in rural hospital closures per capita
#1 in medical bankruptcies
Bottom in infant & maternal mortality
Bottom in poverty
We’ve lost over $25 BILLION of our own tax dollars because @GovBillLee & the @TNGOP won’t expand Medicaid. That is not “pro-life”.
Soft civil war is when a Christian millionaire commands a political party which forcibly denies constituents access to their own resources. Terror marketed as "faith" is still terror. You aren't our overseer, @BillLeeTN. You're our employee. Start acting like it. Or resign.
