24.9% of Texans Do Not Have Health Insurance

A rate of 24.9% insured makes Texas the most uninsured state in the United States of America. And El Paso County has one of the highest rates in the state of Texas. Our neighbor the state of New Mexico is number two with 23.1% of their people not having health insurance.

And there are people living and working in both New Mexico and Texas who are just on the borderline of actually being violently opposed to expanding health care to these people. People are dying unnecessarily.

What kind of mean, nasty, cruel people are these who are opposed President Obama’s plan to extend health care coverage? Are they modern day fascists or just plain ignorant racists? The strange part is that many of these reactionaries consider themselves to be Christians too. Weird.
