Concern is growing among law enforcement officials in Kentucky about the theft of prescription pills from elderly patients. Van Ingram, the Executive Director of the Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy, says the medications are being stolen by people who abuse the drugs themselves or attempt to sell the products on the street.
Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey says he expects fellow Republican Gov. Bill Haslam to announce by Friday's deadline that Tennessee will move ahead with plans to create a state-run health insurance exchange.
Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam has to decide by Friday his intentions regarding the setting up of a statewide health insurance exchange. The exchanges are required under the federal Affordable Care Act. States have to inform Washington by Friday whether they plan to establish their own health insurance exchanges, or whether they want the federal government to create an exchange for them.
