Good morning, Nashville. We know many of you are getting a head start on the weekend today, and we’d like to get started on ours as well. Your abbreviated Bright & Early is below, and we’ll be back later today with The Weekendist for all of your 4th of July needs!

• Under a new federal ruling, state hospitals can now pay an enhanced coverage fee of 3.52 percent to avoid TennCare cuts. [WZTV]
