Nearly 1 in every 5 residents in Texas don't have insurance — the highest uninsured rate in the U.S., according to a new Census Bureau survey. (keranews)

The census data, released this week, showed that 18% of Texans were uninsured in 2021. It was a very different story in Massachusetts, where 2 1/2% of the residents were uninsured.

Census Bureau officials say a number of factors influence whether a person has health insurance or not. But a key factor could be whether the state a person lives in expanded its Medicaid eligibility to lower-income families.with the highest uninsured rates did not expand its Medicaid eligibility. Texas leads that category followed by Oklahoma, Georgia, Wyoming and Florida.

keranews BetoORourke please focus on this!

keranews Just as well Texans believe it's up to their own resources to look after them in times of crisis. No freeloaders looking for government support in the Lone Star State I'll bet. Lol.

keranews TX GOP has been in charge for decades, and they’ve decimated healthcare in Texas. FireAbbott BetoforGovernor2022

keranews That’s where BetoForGovernor comes in.

keranews Too bad our govenor GregAbbott_TX refuses to expand medicaid! We sure could use a govenor that actually cared about Texans and not the rich donors!

keranews Now do you understand why Texas can’t carry the burden of 200,000+ illegal immigrants pouring into the state AND you all get bent out of shape when 50 of them trickle down into the sanctuary of Martha’s Vineyard.

keranews Also the highest in illegals, Fetanyl and unaccompanied children used for sex trafficking pipeline through the Democrat Open Texas borders... Why don't you report on Texas communities destroyed by open borders? Pollution of the Rio Grande River? Hypocrites

keranews “Immigration”

keranews They go to Mexico for medical care.

keranews Ummm illegal immigrants have anything to do with that?

keranews Facts. Texas also has the second highest on murders per capita and ranks on 31 on education. Only 38% has college education.

keranews You mean health insurance? This is fake news.

keranews This is so alien to me as a Canadian. Everyone in Canada by law has to be covered by healthcare. We have private health Insurance, but I've never met a si gle Canadian who has it. I think its just used for rich people and traveling.

keranews meanwhile in California...

keranews So of that what is the number of the uninsured that are illegal immigrants. Doubt that number is in this because it would require actual journalistic investigation.

keranews So many illegal immigrants there, it’s horrific

keranews I mean, maybe if the ignorant rednecks would stop voting for the GOP because they are either racist/ignorant/a combination of both, they would realize only one party is going to help their bottom line. I don't have any faith it will happen...
