Going by health care costs relative to income, health care is less affordable in Texas than in every state of the union except Mississippi. And no, the number of illegal aliens isn't a major contributing factor.
REALLY? it's two thing, or three. Medicaid continues to be gutted. The state does nothing to regulate insurers. And, on the paying for it side, all the low-wage jobs that Tricky Ricky's miracle have created can't very wlll pay for health insurance, if they even offer it.
Middle-class GOP Texans? Talk to your friends elsewhere ... find out the reality. Stop believing the Perry economic myth.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
