Hybrid Health Insurance

Nashville (WVLT) - Governor Bredesen says he wants to focus on helping Tennessee's 600,000 uninsured residents once the special legislative session, which begins Tuesday, ends.

Bredesen, who's up for re-election this year, says he envisions developing a type of hybrid health insurance plan.

In it, the working poor, their employers, the state, and possibly the federal government would each kick-in part of the health insurance premiums.

Details of the plan are still being worked out.

The hope is the new plan would be a partner to the state's current TennCare plan.
