  • Talking Points for Speaker Harwell's Task Force the Task Force Must Create a Plan That Will
    Talking Points for Speaker Harwell’s Task Force On April 12th, Speaker Harwell announced that she has put together a task force to come up with a plan to close the coverage gap. The task force, comprised of four Representatives, is to hold public meetings and design a plan to bring to the federal government for approval by June. The members of the task force are Representatives Cameron Sexton, Matthew Hill, Steve McManus, and Roger Kane. On the next page, you will find a short profile of each Representative. It is vital that the task force – as well as Speaker Harwell – hears from Tennesseans from across the state that we are expecting a plan that will succeed in closing the coverage gap. It is up to all of us to hold our legislators accountable, and to make sure they know what we want to see in the plan. The task force must create a plan that will: Close the coverage gap and offer affordable health care coverage to the 280,000 Tennesseans who are currently suffering without access to care. Keep our rural hospitals open, and prevent more from closing – we’ve already had 6 close their doors. Create new jobs and prevent the loss of jobs from hospital closures. The task force and Speaker Harwell need to hear from us now. Call them today, and ask them to make a plan that works for Tennessee. Here is a sample script: “Hi, my name is XX, and I’d like to make a comment to Representative XX about the Task Force to create a health care plan.

During your visit, I hope you will take the time to observe the exquisite historical architecture you will find throughout the Capitol. Despite the stately appearance of the Capitol building, you will find that it serves the viable function for which it was erected in 1855. The House Chamber, in conjunction with the Legislative Plaza, is where your state legislators meet to study, debate, and pass the laws of Tennessee. Please remember that all Sessions of the General Assembly held in the Chamber, as well as all meetings held in the Legislative Plaza, are open to the public. I encourage you to attend a Session of the House of Representatives so that you can see how the legislative process works. I also encourage you to visit the state representative from your home district. You are more than welcome to meet with any of them to voice your opinion on an issue or for any other reason you may wish. If you are unable to attend a House Session, you can view our live video streaming through our website at www.legislature.state.tn.us. At this website, under the House menu, you can find a direct link to our live video streaming.
