Blog Six.

In the blog Healthcare in Texas written by Alexy Degterev, he talks about how Texas is the worst state for uninsured citizens. It is difficult for Texans to gain it. Now that we have the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) better days are looking bright for those who are in need for it. But with a policy so great and powerful, there are always individuals or a group or people opposing it. In Texas case that is Governor Rick Perry and Senator Ted Cruz.

                The blog is well written. It gives a brief summary on Obamacare and why it is well needed for Texas.  According to the Census Bureau's 2012 American Community Survey, the highest portion of uninsured children, elderly, and unemployed people are all in Texas. With these facts it gives the blog more creditability, and show the stupidity of both Perry and Cruz.

                Obama offered the state of Texas 100 billion dollars for a Medicaid expansion, to help the six million Texans that need it. Degterev asked a question “Are you crazy Rick Perry?” which we will answer shortly. Believe it or not the offer was rejected by Rick Perry and his response was "Texas will not be held hostage by the Obama administration's attempt to force us into this fool's errand of adding more than a million Texans to a broken system." Its irony because Rick Perry is foolish for saying that and, trying to stop the Act that’s going to better the state he governs. So to answer the question above, yes. His partner in crime Senator Ted Cruz is not any better. He demanded several attempts to stop Obamacare as well, but all failed.

                In this blog I do agree with Mr. Degterev completely. The Texas republican party may need a major epiphany to realize how important healthcare is in Texas. Overall good work!
