Don't put a life like Abby's at risk just to balance the state budget. Health care funding matters to Texas families, and some cuts don't heal. The state should protect health care funding by pursuing other revenue sources.
For many rural hospitals, Medicaid pays for a large share of health care services. Cuts to health care spending will have negative effects that are serious and long lasting. Texans deserve better. Protect health care funding, because some cuts don't heal.
Texas' elected leaders are on track to make a big mistake in an area that's literally a matter of life and death -- health care funding. Don't leave everyday Texans holding the bag with higher local taxes, increased insurance premiums and reduced access to care. Protect health care funding, because some cuts don't heal.
Budget cuts threaten the trauma care Texans count on. Reducing these vital services is not an option. Protect funding for local hospitals, doctors and nurses. They just might save your life one day. Some cuts don't heal, including those being proposed now in Austin. Get involved and tell your state legislators to protect hospital funding!
The State of Texas faces an unprecedented budget shortfall, and the magnitude of health care cuts being considered will have far-reaching consequences for all Texans. If funding for local hospitals, doctors and nurses is not maintained, the health care system will be hurt beyond repair, and you will suffer the consequences.
