WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HEALTH CARE COVERAGE IN TEXAS.

WHERE DOES TEXAS STAND?

TEXAS IS DEAD LAST among the 50 states, with the highest the number and the highest percentage of uninsured people in the country.

Essential workers are putting their lives and their families' lives on the line and DESERVE ACCESS to health care coverage.

Texas leads the country in RURAL HOSPITAL CLOSURES - with devastating effect on rural economies and the wellbeing of rural Texans.

ALMOST 20% OF TEXAN’S DONT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE - one in five Texans can't see a doctor for serious ongoing medical issues.

Treating uninsured Texans COSTS THE STATE BILLIONS in uncompensated care. (OR Emergency treatment for uninsured Texans...)

Not accessing federal funding means LESS HEALTHY TEXANS.

Not recapturing federal funding means Texas is not accessing taxes Texans pay to the federal government.

Not recapturing federal funding MAKES TEXAS LESS COMPETITIVE with states that are accessing funding.

Every major doctor’s association, Texas hospital and health care company, business group and newspaper supports expanding health care funding.

Accepting billions in federal funding will SAVE TEXANS MONEY, BOOST THE ECONOMY, SAVE RURAL HOSPITALS and MAKE TEXANS HEALTHIER.
