TX must expand Medicaid. Texans shouldn't have to choose between health and bills. With the nation's highest uninsured rate, let's demand healthcare access for all. Medicaid expansion can help over a million Texans in need. #MedicaidAwarenessMonth
I am so disappointed. 😭
NEW: The Mississippi House & Senate have reached a compromise to expand Medicaid. But it includes a mandatory work requirement — something the Biden admin will never approve. It requires the state to keep applying each year until CMS approves it with the work requirements.
We collaborated with Texans Care for Children on the newly updated #Texas #SchoolReadiness Dashboard, a comprehensive snapshot of early childhood health and wellbeing! See the ways we can support @putkids1st and other state leaders: pn3policy.org/state-services/
Congratulations to @putkids1st on their updated dashboard! It’s full of great data, including insights on local areas in Texas.

The state workforce is systemically understaffed and underpaid. Technology updates are necessary. So is paying our workforce for their worth. #txlege.
The state's clunky, outdated Medicaid enrollment system still relies on staff manually processing paperwork — creating big delays for families. The Legislature should invest in technology and data-driven approaches to create a more efficient enrollment system. #TXlege
