Healthcare

The Texas Department of Agriculture oversees the "State Office of Rural Health," which provides services, programs and grants for rural health in the amount of approximately $3.5 million per year.

With the passage of the Big Bullshit Bill cutting healthcare funding to give more kickbacks to the billionaire funders, many rural hospitals are at greater risk of closing. According to a CHQPR study, 76 rural Texas hospitals are at risk of closure and 12 rural Texas hospitals are at immediate risk of closing.

As these hospitals close, so too will ambulance services in rural communities. This could create a death spiral, harming a large number of Texans.

All Texans deserve affordable, timely healthcare. With looming healthcare cuts, we need a government that fights to increase access to affordable, timely healthcare for all Texans -- not one that defunds healthcare to send kickbacks to the greedy few.
