to immunization, then your kids can be admitted to public school without immunization. Further, one may send one's kids to private schools (subject to their rules) or homeschool them. So, not all kids would be covered by rules requiring vaccination in most states. Whatever Texas' rules on such things, Medicaid eligibles would still be held to a different standard -- no philosophical, religious, or homeschooling exemptions for them. And there are no rules for pre-school kids other than those imposed by pre-school programs. So, it's still a double standard.

And most people, most kids, are not on Medicaid -- so the law would not comprehensively address issues such as vaccination, anyway.
