I have 50,000 people who would be covered if the State of Texas expanded Medicaid.
The Affordable Care Act is working. But like any law, it is not perfect.
We have people who are not poor enough to get Medicaid, but they also don't earn enough money to get the subsidies.
Prior to the ACA, the individual market was deeply broken.
