NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee lawmakers have temporarily hit pause on their push to make many able-bodied adults either work, volunteer, or take classes if they don't have children younger than 6, in order to keep their TennCare health coverage. Lawmakers say they first need questions answered by President Donald Trump's administration. With the Senate's delay Thursday, lawmakers worried about the tens of millions of dollars it's projected to cost and sought to sort out which low-income patients would be affected.
