Privatization of Texas Medicaid wrong

The recent hasty discouragement of the recipients of Medicaid has seen children who give up the necessary operations and life -saving medicines. These children paid for unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles imposed by Texas. Now the story is set to repeat. The Medicaid Texas program is at risk and the health of Texas children is at risk.

Three pediatric hospitals-Deta Hospital in Texas in Houston, Fort Cook’s Children’s Health System and Children’s Hospital, based in the Corps of Christie, have recently lost their offer with the state to manage non-profit plans Medicaid. Instead of assigning the contracts to these home organizations with decades of experience and 1.8 million participants, the Texas Commission for Health and Human Services gave them national corporations with profit. The judge found that the contractual practices of the state illegally support the National Corporation for profit and temporarily stopped the switch, fortunately providing the time of Texas legislation to act.

Texas Medicaid’s troubles come from the belief that the government is the problem, not the solution. When we perceive this philosophy, we legitimize self -fulfilling and self -suggestive prophecy. Instead of improving our public programs, we sabotage them.

The key to program efficiency is not privatization, but to require considerable use of public resources. As the next legislative session is underway, ask your representatives to optimize the Medicaid recording process and determine the contracting practices of the program. In this way, we can keep our portfolios from corporations outside the state and protect the next generation of Texas.

Keller’s small town policy

Re: “Keller ISD calls the temporary chief – the anger of the parents continues to rage over the plan to create two areas,” Metro and Business History on February 1st.

A storm is boiling in Keller and it seems that the first victim has happened with the resignation of the boss, who distanced herself from the storm. I cannot accuse her of not wanting to be affected by the stench of the present school board. It was not from its creation and it seemed that the board had already decided.

I have lived in Keller for more than 30 years, and this reminds me of the policy of the small town years when a mayor wanted to rule Keller, as he saw and was ready to take down every newcomer to Keller who prevents him. I thought we were over, but unfortunately not.

The money of the Committee on Political Action Outside the City, which gave us our current council, have an agenda beyond the ban on books and do not respect transition students who are coming to light. (Yes, we do not like the money outside the state that influence our elections when they were received by the Democrats. You have not heard the governor complain when he has taken millions from a Pennsylvania man to help support his school initiative vouchers.)

To people in the congress

In the past, the far-right Republicans would condemn moderate GOP members such as Rinos refurbish only in name. With its new generation Maga, GOP is no longer a viable party, giving all things Donald Trump.

I guess everyone should use the new Noms de Plume Sino and Cino (only a senator in the name and a member of the congress only in the name), as they are really nothing but yes, men and women for their leader.

We could fill their places with signs showing “yes” instead of having to pay their salaries over the next four years, thus saving some funds that could come to useful goals. Their loyalty is obviously not for their constituents or country, but only one person.

See how it feels, dems

All the rage and boiling of the left of what President Donald Trump has done so far, if you take this rage and double it, you are almost halfway to how the bigger part of this country has been feeling in the last four years.

Complain of legislators

I called the state-owned representative Angie Chen Button, R-Garland and Senator Bob Hall, R-Hedgewood, about the funding of Bill 2 on Senate 2 to emphasize my concern that we need to increase the distribution of public schools. I also called us a reporter Beth Van Dine and my two senators to roughly overcome power from the executive branch, allowing for unauthorized access to Elon Musk to our most sensitive and classified systems under the guise of searching for “efficiency”. It took me less than 10 minutes to reach all five offices.

No one will be interested if you are talking about it, a Facebook fan or standing out with a highway block. You can make the news, but until your chosen employees hear your voice, I wouldn’t expect much.

I left some super uncomfortable messages and voice messages and I advise you too.

Texas Lottery Sham

We now know that for more than 30 years the lottery in Texas has had the same leadership and has no supervision.

How many people have bought a ticket thinking they are helping schools? We now know that when the odds are indicated for every game, it’s all shame. How can the purchase of a ticket compete with a union that buys over 11 million?

Imagine what will happen when our state surplus went to private schools through vouchers? After all, this well -being for the rich will buy laptops, horseback riding lessons, rock climbing lessons, etc.

This is no joke – see how the Arkansas vouchers are doing!
