Here we are at another Legislative Session and we are going great guns! Our goal is to modify the statute that created TexHealth so that TexHealth does not have to have County Commissioners Court approval. When TexHealth was first created as a health plan for small business it made some sense for the County Commissioners to be involved in oversight. Now however, it is not needed and TexHealth should be available statewide to those who need the help paying for their health insurance premiums. We have proposed language to modify the original statute and we just need the Legislators to approve it. This will take visits to many offices to explain the rationale. If we are successful in getting the change we will also need more funding to go statewide. That is in the works too! Keep your fingers crossed.
