Texas’ Uninsured Rate Hits 19% As GOP Snubs Medicaid Expansion

Nearly 20% of Texans under the age of 65 don’t have health insurance and most of them are working, according to a new analysis that could further pressure that state’s policymakers and politicians to expand Medicaid coverage for the poor.

Texas has 4.7 million uninsured, the most people of any other U.S. state without medical coverage under age 65 , according to a new report on the state’s uninsured by the Urban Institute that is sponsored by Episcopal Health Foundation.
