Texas officials acknowledged some errors after they stripped Medicaid coverage from more than 2 million people, most of them children. A ProPublica and Texas Tribune review of records shows that these mistakes and others were preventable.

    It will still be the Democrats fault somehow. My dad is whatever you call it when you’re not conservative or Republican but still manage to vote for right wingers. His wife had a stroke years ago and her physical abilities and mind had started to go before that. She’s needed to be on Medicare/Medicaid for a long time now. I hope she doesn’t lose access.

      Thats called a Republican, friend. Just one who tries to avoid the label and backlash.

      and I hope someone is checking in on the wife, You know how these types tend to treat the less able, especially in stressful situations.

    This is not news, Texas is a failed state, nobody is running a headline “innocents killed by warlords in Somalia”.

    One thing “Texans” seem to never understand: It’s not your state, they let you live there because they needed you to run their ranches and pump their oil, but the state belongs to the rural rich and always will.

    Show me some real world statistics, Texas, where it helps to criminalize women and force them into motherhood and take away any benefits that could help them.

    As always, Texas hates Texans. All I ever hear are the things their government takes away or deny them. What’s Texas done for Texas lately?
