Tonya, I just read this, I don’t spend much time on his page. Yes, the fact that we in Texas have somehow missed the point here is a tribute to pandering, politics, and big money. If anyone really looked at the medicaid expansion, what it is, whom it benefits, and the fact that Texans already pay OTHER states via taxes for this benefit, perhaps they would not be so reactionary. Yes, I and others, while not in your situation, have researched and are mystified why Texans have been denied this, simply for political reasons. People in that’ in between gap’ are affected more than anyone. This governor, don’t forget became paralyzed as a result of a tree branch falling on him while he was jogging, wherein he sued the city for millions. He was privileged to have great medical care, and then further, raked in millions of taxpayer dollars via his lawsuit. Somehow republican Texans have been manipulated into believing that people in your or other circumstances are there due to laziness and bad choices. But for the Grace of God go I; my mom taught me that and I never forgot it.All I can say is, be an activist or at least register and VOTE, take people with you. Don’t stop trying to make people understand; education is all we have.
