Issue Position: Expanding Access to Healthcare
Issue Position
Issues: Health and Health Care
Texas leads the nation with nearly a quarter of its population lacking sufficient health insurance coverage. While the Republican-dominated Texas Legislature refuses to expand healthcare coverage for purely political reasons, despite available funding, Trey has fought to expand coverage and create jobs for Texans.
Trey believes it is time for leaders to put people over politics and expand health insurance coverage to over 1 million hard-working Texans.
That is why Trey filed HB 116. This bill would have expanded Medicaid eligibility for Texans and brought $90 billion back to our state to create jobs and alleviate tax burdens on taxpayers and local governments.
