This issue is more complex than your posts suggests.

Tennessee currently covers parents who have no family coverage under the regular Medicaid program via an "1115 Waiver" up to 400% of the FPL.

The link you provided represents the worst-case scenario that conveniently ignores the "medically needy" and the 1115 waivers. For example, coverage is greatly extended for pregnant women and children in almost all states.

I'll be the first to admit the red tape is absurd. But if you don't make much money and want free care or free medical insurance, it is available.
