March 20--FORT WORTH -- At a time when nearly one quarter of all Texans do not have health insurance, U.S. Secretary of Heath and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius came to town Thursday to encourage residents to sign up for health insurance before the March 31 deadline.

"Everything is bigger in Texas," she said during a press conference at Tarrant County College's south campus. "Unfortunately, the number of uninsured is bigger in Texas.

"Twenty-three percent of Texans have no health insurance at all."

The Medicaid Expansion pays !00% of Medicaid until the year 2020 and then 90%. If expenses did not change after the year 2020 then 90% of $18 Million is $16.2 Million, leaving the State of Texas with a Medicaid bill of approximately $1.8 Million, much less.

Voting for a Republican in Texas is a serious mistake. It is voting against your own interest whether you already have insurance or not.
