The cost of healthcare is rising while opportunities for affordable and accessible coverage are decreasing. The people of Texas would be much better off if we had accepted the Medicaid Expansion when it was first rolled out. Unfortunately, the national climate has only fueled rising costs as Republicans seek to deny coverage for preexisting conditions and privatize vital services. Texas needs every dollar it can get for health and human services spending, and we need to increase our investment in community clinics, sliding scale mental healthcare, and nonprofit organizations like Planned Parenthood.
