You want to talk about the cost of healthcare, Texas?
Let's talk about single payer...
Oh, you don't care about the cost, you just hate brown people?
What's the total of the cost of insurance companies standing between patients and care?
Oh, you don't really give a shit about anything but hate.
Texas also is creating a report on the cost that undocumented immigrants have on the Texas economy while being specifically ordered to NOT include the money they generate for the economy (you know, like the last time this study was conducted) Texas Senate Bill 825
It's totally beleivable. In Texas Healthcare, 120 mil is like one bottle of Aspirin and some water bottles.
It's the power bill to light the room.
Yup since hot wheels deregulated the power prices
It's to oversee the nurse who flips the light switch
$122m? That’s, like, 7 patients.
Or 16 bottles of Tylenol
One bandaid
And how much do US citizens cost TX hospitals? I'm willing to bet, proportionally, citizens are a greater cost because we also have bad rates of being insured and citizens aren't so worried about getting arrested by ICE as they exit the ER.
