Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen announced plans to dissolve the state’s expanded Medicaid system and drop 430,000 poor and disabled people from the rolls of the healthcare program that has been devouring a large chunk of the state budget.

Bredesen said in Nashville that the state would instead return to a cheaper, more basic Medicaid program.
