U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper of Nashville announced Friday that he has invited Michele Johnson, executive director of the Tennessee Justice Center, to attend the 2020 State of the Union address as his guest. Cooper said he invited Johnson because she “has devoted her career to helping underserved Tennesseans access the health care that they deserve.” With the state’s decision not to expand Medicaid and to seek a special waiver to block grant federal aid, Cooper says he wanted to highlight the importance of health care at the annual event tomorrow night in Washington, D.C.
