I wouldn't doubt this reinforces Texas' position at the bottom of all polls as the state that doesn't care about those who aren't influential, can't contribute to campaign war chests, and have no voice...namely, 1.2 million Texas children. What a dismal, disgusting and disturbing fact that those who can't afford insurance for their children are at the mercy of ER's that are understaffed and overworked...great job, teavangelical/repub leaders...undoubtedly you have great ins. for YOUR children!
