PERRspectives: Texas Refuses to Enforce Obamacare Insurance Reforms
"They say everything is bigger in Texas. That's certainly the case when it comes to the mega-failure that is the Lone Star State's 46th ranked health care system. Six million people or 24 percent of all Texans--and 30 percent of those ages 18 to 64--have no health insurance. Twenty-two Texas counties are among the nation's 30 worstfor health insurance coverage. And because GovernorRick Perry has refused the Affordable Care Act's expansion of Medicaid, 1.5 million Texans will needlessly remain uninsured after January 1. Now, Texas is adding insult to injury by refusing to enforce Obamacare's reforms for insurers, potentially putting the health--and lives--of its residents at risk."
