Bill O'Reilly Did A Comparison

[Glensather]

Wasn't Texas recently ranked worst healthcare in the nation?

Both Cal. and Texas have pretty serious problems, neither state is in the top best states to live in.

Yeah keep the HuffPost link in your favorites, great source for idiots...

...BTW The Texas Medical Center is second to none

Ironically, Huffington Post also points out that the 1st and 3rd best high schools in the world are in Texas.

Best High Schools In America 2012: U.S. News And World Report Releases New Rankings

As for me... I only want to live in CA because that's where Silicon Valley is. I want to work there.

If they moved it, I'd say whatever state it was in then.

Feds rank Texas worst healthcare provider - Houston Chronicle

"Texas scored 31.61 - less than half of top-ranked Minnesota's 67.31 - out of a possible 100 points in the Agency for Health care Research and Quality annual rankings. Rated "weak" or "very weak" in nine of 12 health delivery categories, Texas dropped from 47th place in 2010 to 51st in 2011, behind all other states and Washington, D.C.

"We're not comparing it to some fantasy world, we're comparing it to other states around the nation."

Yup. Dead last.

I have never had a problem getting good health care in Texas. We have had a number of family and friends diagnosed with cancer, all have received great care in the TMC. When you need cancer treatment, MD Anderson is the place you want to be. The WHO rates our Health Care at 37 (the US), yet the number #1 Cancer Treatment facility in the world is MD Anderson, and they have France ranked #1?

Believe what you want, but I assure you, if I have to deal with cancer, I will be at MD Anderson...

Good for you. It doesn't change the fact that Texas is ranked last in the nation in healthcare. They also have the 3rd highest teen birth rate, one of the highest rates of high school drop outs, and are one of the few states to see a sharp rise in infant mortality in the last 5 years.

Oh, and they have the most polluted air in the nation

 

[blackhawk]

Most of Texas is a flat, barren hell hole full of loud mouthed ignorant assholes.

I'd take CA over TX in a heartbeat.

Ah the opinion of the truly uninformed.

 

[Meister]

I lived in Ca. for 41 years. There was a reason why I got out and moved to Idaho.
I would move to Tx. over Ca. without hesitation.

You need to learn how to use Google...

Here are a couple of links to FACTS, maybe you should realize the Feds are not always a good source...

Everything you said about Texas is wrong, great place to live...

I love California, great climate, very beautiful, but way over priced...

Only four people admit to wanting to live in the Nanny State.

You forgot to put "neither" on your poll options!

No I didn't forget. I was very clear you have to choose between the two. But then I have to remember I'm dealing with liberals.

And last but not least, Kaiser has the one of the best reps for health data in the country...

If you don't care for Texas it's okay with me, you can just leave or never show up, we have enough liberals already...

Look at the line-up for California. They wouldn't last 3 days on their own.

Thanks , very true. I'm just a born and bread "coastie", it's hard to change that for better or worse. With the exceptions of some TDY's, I have pretty much lived no than 3 miles from the coast from New York, Virginia, and Florida.

Your point is moot. Pretty soon Texas won't be a state anymore.

We can only hope and pray Texas leaves...and soon.

Well if it does good luck making for the oil and natural gas it supplies the refinery's it has and the ports. Oh well missing out on those little things probably wouldn't drive prices up much for you.

Drop out rates are due to the mexican population.
