Last week, we examined the Lone Star State's performance in five broad categories of medical statistics, health care access, preventive care and treatment, avoidable use of hospitals and costs of care, healthy lives indicators, quality of health care given to vulnerable populations, differences in care based on income, differences based on insurance status, differences based on racial/ethnic background, Texas' projected rise in uninsured, out-of-pocket spending and employer premium spending. Read the full Houston Chronicle article by Rick Dunham and Lynsi Burton. Today we give you the Urban Institute's numbers on insurance coverage by congressional district. Texas as a state leads the nation in uninsured people -- and 10 of the top 20 most uninsured districts are from Texas. Here are the numbers for uninsured rates for all non-elderly people and each district's ranking among all congressional districts plus the District of Columbia. The worst district in the nation (which is in Houston) is given rank #1. The best is #436.

Idiot!!! Ol' Harry is about to bankrupt the damn country, and you're on his bandwagon??? Who do you think is going to pay for that "public option?" If you have a job, any job, YOU will!!You will have to pay medical expenses for all those dead-beats out there who refuse to work. But then again, why should they work, they've got YOU working for them.
