Bredesen is not the right replacement for director of HHS under pres. Obama. After cutting Tenn-Care from 168,000 people, some died because they couldn't get help from the state. And the rest of us have to do the best we can without medicare. I desperately hope that pres. Obama looks into bredesen's records and makes the decision not to make him secretary of HHS.

I agree that people need to get off handouts and work,but don't hurt the ones that need it. Better control of where the money goes is needed.

I know a cancer patient that was cut off, and died! People were cut off of dialasis treatements! That's NOT fixing health care. I suggest the Pres. contact WSMV TV for archiieves on this Tenn Care story to get the truth before considering Bredesen for HHS.

Not everyone is able to afford to go to the best and highest regarded institutes of health care. We need someone for this position that will try to do as much for everyone as they would for themself.

Medicaid is too important to our society and communities to allow this man to control its fate. The citizens of the United States want these benefits for those who need them. Better that our tax dollars, the basis of Medicaid, be spent here on Americans than on Iraq or other foreign soil.

Bredesen thinks of himself as CEO of this state. He doesn't understand that he is a public servant. I know this first hand from a meeting in his office I attended. He was very rude to a gathering of health care consumers and advocates. I was stunned.

He (Bredeson) is oppositional to everything the President stands for. I voted for Obama and am a strong supporter of his, but my personal approving rating of him will go way down if he nominates this corrupt man from TN. I know Obama is trying to create a "Team of Rivals," but this is going too far. Way too far.

His positions in the past and present have greatly hurt many Tennesseans. One of our nation's greatest challenges is the healthcare crisis. His positions run counter to the campaign promises made by President Obama.

His previous missteps in TN health care during his active tenure as Governor set him apart in ways most unflattering. Enough raised eyebrows and glaring eyes should have pierced this idea from its inception. Indeed, counter-intuitive at its core.

Governor Bredesen would NOT represent a progressive choice for health care reform in the Obama Administration, nor a trustworthy candidate for the position by the American people.
