So where is Perrycare?

[TexasTowelie]

So where is Perrycare? What’s the governor’s plan to help those people and the hospitals that don’t get reimbursed for their care when it’s more serious because those people couldn’t see a primary care doctor?

Perry can object to the provisions in the Affordable Care Act, but he can’t deny that a problem exists. Don’t he and lawmakers have an obligation to address such a serious matter? Have they effectively said their plan is “We don’tcare”?

That group even opposed a Republican lawmaker’s 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 it’s 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.

3. They have subsidies and loop holes to not pay taxes. It is no care of theirs.

IMO, they view it as the comic section.
