Health Care
76% of the 4M+ Texans on Medicaid are kids.
We envision a state where a culture of care drives positive health outcomes for all.
Texas faces long-standing challenges to optimal health, including the nation’s highest uninsured rates, and deep financial and systemic gaps for those who have insurance. We provide policy and administrative solutions that make comprehensive healthcare affordable and prevent medical debt from crushing Texans with financial insecurity. Every Texan fights for policy change at the Texas Legislature while addressing challenges to foundational health care programs—Medicaid, CHIP, women’s health, immigrants’ access to care, and private health coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
Texas is home to the highest number of food insecure people in the nation.
Food insecurity affects children, adults and seniors, and families of all races and ethnicities. However, certain populations are at higher risk for hunger. Data helps us understand the diversity and complexity of the Texan experience, and sharing our data and methods transparently helps build trust, foster collaboration, and empower communities, advocates, and policymakers to make informed decisions that improve the lives of all Texans.
