After losing my job in 2010 and finding it very hard to find another, I went to Texas and stayed in a house in Houston owned by an Islamic group for women who needed temporary assistance. While there, on Black Friday after a cold rain I was walking by a construction site and slipped in the mud, which is the slimiest wet clay and worse than ice. I fell and broke my ankle. I was taken to a hospital and spent the entire afternoon sitting in the hallway of the emergency dept. I had no insurance, so all I got that day was an elastic bandage and a pair of crutches, and a single ibuprofen pill. A few weeks later, I got a bill (I left the US and stayed out for 6 years so I never paid it). The amount I owed was $4,275. Such bloated health care costs inflicted on people who can't pay them are egregious.
As a native Texan, I apologize for your mistreatment. If we had allowed the extension of Medicaid from Obama's Affordable Care Act, maybe you could have has some insurance and gotten better treatment?
Texas protects and empowers our local oligarchs as they continue stealing everyone's income and wealth. Texas is not a refuge for workers or those seeking a living wage. And ,even though we are a minority majority state, we don't vote to kick out the lackeys of the wealth hoarders.
