Healthcare Legislative Primer

Healthcare Legislative Primer – How to find out what impacts care

Medicaid funding and redistricting are big topics this year in the Texas Legislature. Issues impacting our communities’ health may be less familiar to you. Several major bills have been heard since the week of April 18 in the Senate and House.

While most bills are not passed during a session, it’s impossible to say our Texas Legislature is not working with great dedication on issues involving healthcare. We hope budget constraints do not negatively impact the care we offer fellow Texans, but acknowledge some impact is expected. Some awkward outcomes may be an inability to expand services, while losing worthy projects.
