SUMMARY:Healthcare in Texas
DESCRIPTION:The 87th Legislature is just around the corner\, and the question of whether or not to expand access to health care\, and how to do it\, will likely be on the agenda. \nJoin us for a discussion about healthcare in Texas where we will seek to understand the arguments for and against healthcare expansion. \nWe invite you to review these resources and articles prior to the conversation: \nStatement of the problem in Texas: \n\nhttps://www.healthinsurance.org/texas-medicaid/\nhttps://www.texmed.org/Template.aspx?id=55482\n\nHow each of the State parties address the issue: \n\nhttps://www.texasdemocrats.org/our-party/texas-democratic-party-platform/  (SECTION ENTITLED “HEALTH CARE FOR ALL”)\nhttps://www.texasgop.org/platform/  (SECTION ENTITLED “HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES”)\n\nPoliticization of access to health care: \n\nhttps://www.americanprogress.org/issues/democracy/reports/2020/02/24/480684/partisan-gerrymandering-limits-access-health-care/\n\nPossible solutions that may be proposed in 2021 \n\nhttps://www.dmagazine.com/healthcare-business/2020/10/how-texas-could-expand-medicaid-and-not-break-the-bank/\nhttps://stateofreform.com/news/2020/11/texas-legislators-pre-file-a-variety-of-new-health-care-bills/\n\n  \nRSVP is required\, and a suggested donation of $5 is optional. You will receive the Zoom link following your RSVP\, and again the morning of the event. \nThank you for bringing faith to life with Faith Commons.
