So where is Perrycare? Whats the governors plan to help those people and the hospitals that dont get reimbursed for their care when its more serious because those people couldnt see a primary care doctor?
Perry can object to the provisions in the Affordable Care Act, but he cant deny that a problem exists. Dont he and lawmakers have an obligation to address such a serious matter? Have they effectively said their plan is We dontcare?
That group even opposed a Republican lawmakers bill that would have authorized state health officials to negotiate with the Obama administration to craft a Texas delivery system with co-pays and other features requiring patient responsibility.
Their snit might make them and other Texans feel good, but its costly about $85 billion over 10 years, the difference between the $15 billion Texas would have to pay to draw down $100 billion federal money, according to the Hobby Center.

IMO, they view it as the comic section.
