That is right. That is right. The importance of the work you are doing in closing healthcare disparities, which sometimes people don't understand, there are racial and ethnic disparities that, again, are reflected in our historical policies that have really severely impacted communities of color and African Americans.

More from Bill Lee
The people of Tennessee have determined that the death penalty is the appropriate penalty for the most heinous crimes in the state.
I hope that Tennessee governor Bill Lee’s decision to postpone the last execution scheduled for this year will give lawmakers time to consider the subject seriously.
Carrying out a lawfully imposed sentence is among the State’s most serious responsibilities, and the people of Tennessee expect it to be done in a manner that is not only legal and constitutional, but is effective.
So far as we know, the Department of Correction followed exactly the protocol that was outlined and vetted and approved by the attorney general’s office.
