TEXAS UNINSURED RATE CONTINUES TO FALL

  Texas still has the highest percentage of people without health insurance in the country Now, Let me ask you something. What do you think is the number of people uninsured in Texas? In case you're curious the numbers are extravagant. 5 Million Texans were reported uninsured. What's also a bit harsh to hear/read about is considering the fact that many of the folk's uninsured most likely fall under the lower Income scale. As well as people whose income doesn't quite fall under the low-income scale, but at the same time still wouldn't be enough for coverage, which makes it harder for them to find affordable Health insurance. Mainly since our State of Texas is one of, or in other words the most strict and stingy state when it comes down to ensuring certain people. Specifically, since Texas is a state who unfortunately decided not to expand Medicaid coverage.

 Here comes another question for you. Why do you think Our Texas Government doesn't ensure residents?I don't want to sound like a Liberal now, but as you might already know Texas is predominantly a republican state. The ironic thing is that Texas can actually grant insurance to "about 800,000 adults living in poverty if the state expanded Medicaid." The Republican Party considering their conservative point of views strongly oppose the Idea of Medicaid "They've criticized Medicaid, as an inefficient and broken system." Now, The Republicans might have a point there, but what they should consider first is the insuring of their residents. Instead of putting political favoritism first. I know what I just wrote might sound as if I am speaking about a dream world, but with this kind of decision making does is ultimately affect the people of Texas.

  In my perspective, I believe this article is worthy of reading mainly since we as Texans can possibly be affected by this or even currently experiencing being uninsured. We as citizens need to have the right information, In regards to issues that frankly can touch home for some of us, not all of us, but a significant proportion. So go ahead and read this article to expand your knowledge on what the "POLITICIANS" are abiding by. Trust me it will surprise you. Actually it might not even surprise you, but still, you should read it!
