The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act:  How Tennessee is Moving Ahead on the Tennessee Health Insurance Exchange and Medicaid Expansion

 

Monday, October 8th, 2012—6:30 pm-8:00 pm

 

 

The Supreme Court recently ruled the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act constitutional and now the action is at the state level: who is going to be doing what and when in Tennessee?  Join Depression Bipolar Support Alliance Jackson in welcoming Brad Palmertree, Interim Executive Director for the Tennessee Health Care Campaign, as he updates us on the latest activities around the Tennessee Health Care Exchange and Medicaid (TennCare) Expansion.

   

Brad Palmertree was formerly the Director of Communications for Tennessee Health Care Campaign. He has tracked and researched the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act from its inception, and uses his knowledge of the law for public education: working with policymakers, legislators, medical providers, social workers, and community leaders to help them better understand provisions of the new health care law.  He holds a Bachelor's of Social Work from Lambuth University and is the current Practicing BSW Representative for the Tennessee Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers. Prior to his work with THCC, Mr. Palmertree worked with at-risk youth in New York City and in Jackson, TN in various capacities. He now lives in Nashville in a house currently occupied by two cats, Rocky & Isabella.
