Texas Health Insurance

Health care in Texas ranks among the worst in the nation. A new study realeased by the health care-oriented Commonwealth Fund ranked Texas 46^th among the 50 states for health care.

Texas was ranked last in access to health care and in measure of how minorities and low-income patients fared in the state’s medical system. Texas has some of the strictest eligibility requirements in the nation for Medicaid insurance.

President of the Commonwealth Fund, Karen Davis, said “There’s no justification for any state to be far below the best state… What we found were shockingly wide variations in the quality of care between the states as much as two or threefold difference.” According to the study, best state for health care is Vermont.
