Texas mothers are dying as you force them to carry unsafe pregnancies to term.
21 rural hospitals have closed in the last decade, leaving Texans isolated without care.
Texas has more uninsured children than any other state.
Where's the executive action on those problems, Greg?
Texans should NOT have to foot the bill for illegal immigrants healthcare.
I issued an Executive Order directing HHSC to collect & report healthcare costs for illegal immigrants.
