By this fall the state plans to put introduce a new health care program that would help low-income Texas residents receive insurance at a reasonable premium. This program would target the 2.1 million low-income adults, before assisting 5.7 million Texans who are currently uninsured. The program has a few skeptics all ready such as Dr. John Holcomb of San Antonio, chairman of a Texas Medical Association committee on Medicaid and the uninsured. "I laud the effort — it's just that I'm skeptical this is going to be the wave of the future." There are a few issues with the program one being the lack of doctor visits allowed each year or the number of prescriptions one can receive. I believe this is a great short-term fix for individuals who are uninsured and relatively healthy.
