Governor Perry: Expand Medicaid in Texas
Do not play politics with the health of uninsured Texans. Accept the Federal money for Medicaid expansion. It is the right and smart thing to do.
Why is this important?
Texas has more than 25 percent of its population without any health insuarance coverage. Affordable Care Act provides funding to expand the health insurance coverage through extra funding via Medicaid Program. Federal Government will pay 9 dollars of every 10 dollars of this Medicaid expansion; yet Governor Rick Perry is refusing billions of dollars for healthcare purely on political basis.
