Jackson Sun Monday, Feb. 28, 1994 Lawmaker seeks remedy for TennCare ills I Legislator requests that people hurt by health care program help solve problems. The Associated Press NASHVILLE A Nashville lawmaker is urging those who have been hurt by the implementation of Gov. Ned McWherter's TennCare plan to Graduates: Volunteer, beg and take half the salary to get foot into the door, expert says. By ANITA BRUZZESE Gannett News Service For generations it has been drilled into our heads that if we get an education, our future is secure.

But don't try telling that to recent college graduates. Many can't find jobs. Sure, they can flip hamburgers or run a cash register, but they'll argue they could have gotten those jobs without $50,000 worth of education. It's no wonder these young people are frustrated, as are their parents. Listen to Colleen Hurley, a mother of three in Des Moines, Iowa: "I see tons of my friends whose kids can't get jobs without internships.

And those internships aren't out there anymore." Hurley knows the job game well. Two of her children graduated college and landed jobs, as an environmental engineer and a broadcast journalist. But it is her youngest, a sophomore with an interest in business, that concerns her. Caela Farren, a partner with Career System Inc. in Washington, D.C., says many college students are making the mistake of "generalizing" in such fields as business.

Instead, she says they should be picking a field, such as marketing or accounting. She adds that while specialists may become generalists once they have put in time with DEATHS Carolyn C.

Rep. John Arriola, D- Nashville, is urging unhappy TennCare recipients and members of the Blue Cross Tennessee Preferred Network to make their feelings known to their state lawmakers. "We have to get pressure on the legislators. They have to be motivated by their constitu- ents," Arriola says. Arriola is sponsor of a bill to force Blue Cross to separate its TennCare patients from Blue Cross' TPN, which covers state employees and thousands of other employees of private businesses.

Many TPN doctors have dropped out of the network after stating they felt forced by Blue Cross to accept TennCare patients if they wished to continue seeing privately insured TPN patients. Arriola said he and sponsors of other TennCare bills dealing with Blue Cross will meet this week to find one bill which addresses all concerns. "We are trying to get in step. The goal is to enact legislation to end the cram-down," Arriola said. Gov.

Administration and Blue Cross officials say forcing Blue Cross to separate TennCare from TPN could endanger the federal waiver that authorized TennCare. "The waiver request was submitted to Washington under the condition that there be an established network to put the TennCare patients in. The waiver was approved because Blue Cross had a statewide network (TPN) we would use for TennCare," said John Greenwood, Blue Cross director of legislative affairs. "If you separate the networks, you would reverse conditions under which the waiver was approved. You run the risk of losing the waiver," Greenwood said.

Officers learn how to talk with deaf residents The Associated Press CHATTANOOGA The story told by Hamilton County Sheriff's officer Mike Cribbs gets the class members' attention. He tells of a man who matched a burglary suspect description found walking a Los Angeles street. The man even carried a paper bag in one hand, as the burglar had done. A police officer called to the man to stop, but he seemingly ignored the order. Police confronted the man, who reacted with fright and ran.

When he was again ordered to stop and did not, police shot him. The man was killed. Later, the officers learned the man was not their suspect, Cribbs said. They found out he didn't stop because he didn't hear them. He was deaf.

"The guy died basically behe was Cribbs said. To head off just such tragedies, the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department has become the first law enforcement agency in Tennessee to take part in a Florida-based program that teaches officers how to communicate with people who don't hear or don't hear well. The knowledge is needed, said Linda Lawson, who spend 14 years working for Services for the Deaf. More than 20,000 residents of Hamilton County are hearing paired. Lawson said, and about 2,500 of them rely on sign language to communicate.

Larry Mitchell is a training officer for the department. "In emergency situations, police officers are supposed to be the people you turn to for help," Mitchell said. "Imagine how awful it would be if that officer could not understand you." The course teaches officers to approach hearing-impaired people from an angle where they can be seen, to smile and appear friendly and remain calm so the person does not become frightened. Most officers are hesitant coming into the course, Mitchell said, but soon get caught up in what they are learning. Gannett News Service Volunteer.

From wire reports Center orders hospitals to pay for helicopter flights The Associated Press MEMPHIS Rural doctors and hospital administrators in the Memphis area are angered by a new policy at Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center which limits the number of helicopter ambulance flights. Officials of Le Bonheur, which lost $800,000 on its helicopter flights last year, want other hospitals to pay for helicopter ambulance flights to Memphis or send critically ill children elsewhere. They blame Gov. Ned McWherter's TennCare program for grounding the flights. Under TennCare, Le Bonheur and other hospitals that treat many state-funded patients are seeing lower payments and less traffic, forcing them to reconsider the viability of costly programs.

"Le Bonheur is holding children hostage," said family physician Jerry Biggerstaff of Baptist Memorial Hospital in Osceola, Ark. "They are taking their special expertise and using it as a means of extorting money from the other hospitals." Le Bonheur has yet to refuse a flight, even to institutions that won't pay, said chief operating officer Jim Shmerling. He said flight decisions remain with Le Bonheur physicians, who will not ground the helicopter if it jeopardizes a child.
