Tennessee GOPers Lament Koch Group Influence Over Medicaid Bill

[DonViejo]

Some Republicans in Tennessee are not too pleased with Americans for Prosperity's attempts to tank a bill that would have expanded Medicaid in the state.

According to The Tennessean, Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a group funded by the Koch brothers, targeted multiple Republicans with mailers and put out a 60-second spot attacking Republican state Rep. Kevin Brooks' stance on the bill.

Brooks told The Tennessean that he merely asked his Republican colleagues to approach the bill to expand medicaid with an open mind.

House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick (R) told The Tennessean that AFP "very unfairly attacked Kevin Brooks in particular" over the Medicaid bill. McCormick lamented that AFP does not necessarily represent the interests of Tennessee residents.
