Texas is the uninsured capital of the United States. More than 4.3 million Texans - including 623,000 children - lack health insurance. Texas' uninsurance rates, 1.75 times the national average, create significant problems in the financing and delivery of health care to all Texans. Those who lack insurance coverage typically enjoy far-worse health status than their insured counterparts.

Texas workers are less likely to have employment-based health insurance coverage than those in other states. 50 percent of all companies in the US offer health coverage for their employees. In 2014, Texas ranked 49th in the nation, with only 47 percent of Texans having employment-based health insurance coverage. The Kaiser Family Foundation reports 84 percent of the uninsured have at least one family member who works either full-time or part-time in 2014.
The average annual premiums for employer-sponsored health insurance in 2015 was $5,963 for single coverage and $17,322 for family coverage. The average annual worker contribution in 2015 was $1,255 for single coverage and $4,710 for family coverage. For family coverage, the worker contribution increased 163% ($1,787 to $4,710) from 2001 to 2015. Workers in small firms (3–199 workers) have lower average contributions for family coverage than workers in larger firms ($16,625 vs. $17,938) The average single premium did not differ significantly based on firm size.
People making moderate and low wages are much less likely to have job-based health insurance coverage than those earning more. In Texas, an average of 33 percent of the uninsured population had incomes below 100 percent of the federal poverty in 2014.
The Uninsured in Texas
Makes a lot of sense doesn't it.
The less insurance the better, better for who???Makes a lot of sense doesn't it.
It makes total sense. The less insurance the better.
Texas is not even CLOSE to the 2nd highest income state.Makes a lot of sense doesn't it. This is what is coming to all states with the Pubs in office. It makes me ill just thinking about it. Republicans are so Christians they could careless if people have healthcare or any social problems. These are mainly the working poor. They are pro birth, but not pro life. The ACA is no different that other premiums.

Everyone. Insurance is, essentially, really expensive credit. The less debt we take on, and the more we pay as we go, the better off we'll be.

No the corps are getting away with not paying insurance and everyone deserves health insurance. Keep the Pubs in maj in congress and Texas will become the norm.
Lets just shut down all hospitals and no one ,, even the Trump and congress get medical care, how does that sound?

What does it even mean, explain yourself better. I am sick at the class divide and the rich need to start paying their way. Texas produced second highest in the US and yet the median income was low and highest in uninsured. Us working poor, deserve to have HI. Median income has gone nowhere for decades.
Yep. Go arm yourself. You can bet they're working on plans to come for us.Evangelicals who keep voting against themselves. Let them starve.You talking about GDP? B/c Texas falls way down the list if you're talking about average income.Texas is not even CLOSE to the 2nd highest income state.

Well that is true, but unfortunately they have maj in Congress now, and due to their policies of gerrymandering also now control MI. It affects us all.

Are you really trying to dictate how our taxes are structured?
Oh and by the way....the oil industry is in the shitter right now and as a consequence so are all the supporting businesses.
And all those uninsured you're crying about? You can bet most are illegals. Hell,the bazillion yard mowers would more than make up the difference.
