Congressmen Castro And Doggett Want Brooke Army Medical To Help San Antonio With COVID-19 Caseload

[TexasTowelie]

SAN ANTONIO -- As coronavirus cases surge in Bexar County and hospitals near capacity, U.S. Representatives Lloyd Doggett and Joaquin Castro are urging Brooke Army Medical Center to do more to help.

Fort Sam Houston’s Brooke Army Medical Center won’t take civilian coronavirus patients unless they are military dependents or retirees. Pentagon policy bars it from doing so.

Congressmen Lloyd Doggett and Joaquin Castro are throwing their weight behind efforts to change that.

“We put in immediate inquiries, both to the Defense Department and to the Armed Services Committee in the House to see what we can do to remove obstacles,” Doggett said. “This is an opportunity for our San Antonio neighbors that work at BAMC and the facilities of BAMC to be available to help us at a time of great need.”

1. I don't understand,

Isn't Texas the state where people can choose whether or not they will wear a mask? And most of the Counties in Texas are saying no to making people wear a mask? There's a cost associated with the cost of being stupid.
