BACKGROUND

Every day, a million Texans wake up uninsured because lawmakers won’t accept the federal funds that have been available to us for more than a decade. It is unconscionable that they would allow Texans to suffer and die for partisan political gain. State leaders are throwing away money our state could use to relieve pressure on schools, infrastructure, and public safety. Our hospitals are closing, our friends and neighbors are sick and nervous, our local taxes are strained, our foundational systems are buckling…please Texas Legislature: just take the money!
