I'm sure this is a silly question, but what percentage of Texas citizens are without medical insurance? Why do I suspect that it is a whole lot less than 24.6%?
It's just insurance the feds are cramming down our throats... doesn't matter what we want mind you. It'll be their way only. Aholes.
And you prove in one question why no intelligent person trusts the MSM. One simple question and the media ran past it.
As simple as asking for college transcripts of Obama, or how did he get a Connecticut SSN.
The media won’t ask how many Citizens are uninsured, beccause that number is very low. Illegals swarm our ERs and absorb out welfare. So expect that to never be answered.
Don’t know the answer to your questions, but...
27% of Texans are under18.
“Why do I suspect that it is a whole lot less than 24.6%?”
Cause you’re forgettin a whole big ole segement of the “population”.
Bingo ... we have a winner, the word is “citizens”. The expansion of Medicaid was written expressly to cover illegal or undocumented or Mexicans or South Americans or whatever the hell you want to call them. Once you expand Medicaid, you can never go back and the Feds will (guaranteed) change the rules and decrease the funding. Look at the idiot states that grabbed the money lure to expand their unemployment insurance program .... they are deeply in debt to the Feds and can’t go back. For that percentage without Medicaid in Texas, please take a good look at moving to a state such as Mass, Il.,Californicate, NY, etc. to take care of your needs. They are states that are losing population and would love to have you.
>> I’m sure this is a silly question, but what percentage of Texas citizens are without medical insurance?
Or medical care? Probably none.
The numbers Reuters claims likely reflects illegals.
Because you are not stupid.
What the article doesn't tell you is that the illegals they are counting in this bogus staticstic are not even covered by the law, and in fact, are specifically exempted. (So as to make them even more cost competitive against actual citizens.
“”Some 6.2 million people are without health insurance in Texas, or 24.6 percent of the state population, the highest percentage in the nation.”
I’m sure this is a silly question, but what percentage of Texas citizens are without medical insurance? Why do I suspect that it is a whole lot less than 24.6%?”
Whether there is a distinction or not, I am one of that 6.2 million and I wish to stay that way until I choose,(not the government) otherwise!
A man has the right to decide how to spend his own money, and manage(or not manage) his own health.
Indeed looking at the obesity rates in Texas and the rest of these united States it seems rather clear that that many of us prefer to live with more health risk.
Y’all can go to hell Washington! I’ve gone to Texas where freedom still means something.
