Haslam says no to a Tennessee 'health care exchange'
Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam has officially said that Tennessee will not participate in a so-called ``State-run health care exchange,'' saying federal rules for the project have been too sketchy, and that he is in fact convinced that the federal government is essentially making up the rules as they go, calling the prospect ``scary.''
Knoxville Mayor and Gov.-elect Bill Haslam will host a meeting Friday for 23 other East Tennessee mayors to discuss a $4.3 million planning grant to create a more sustainable region.
