Health Care in the 28th District of Texas
The 28th District of Texas faces unique health care challenges. The district has a large number of residents who live in medically underserved minority and rural communities. Our communities also have a large number of children and parents who are either uninsured or underinsured. In fact, 24.8% of all Texans do not have health coverage today, including 1.5 million uninsured children in the state. While in the Texas Legislature, Congressman Cuellar was the coauthor of the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that has expanded coverage to hundreds of thousands of Texas children. Since coming to Congress, Congressman Cuellar has been working to support America's health care system through legislation and federal grant opportunities. He is a strong supporter of our community health clinics and those medical centers which play a vital role in delivering health care, primary care and preventative care to our region. For his continued work in healthcare, Congressman Cuellar has received numerous awards from the healthcare industry and has successfully worked to bring federal investments to local healthcare centers in the 28th District of Texas. Congressman Cuellar has been a champion for the expansion of healthcare coverage throughout his district, especially in underserved colonia areas along the border. During the recent open enrollment period for the new Health Insurance Marketplace, Congressman Cuellar hosted enrollment workshops in every one of the nine counties he represents and led a telephone town hall on healthcare options with experts from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. As you know, thousands of elderly Texans rely on Medicare to safeguard their physical health during their retirement years. Congressman Cuellar is committed to strengthening Medicare for our seniors and will ensure that the federal government honors that obligation.Health Insurance Marketplace 7 Things You Can Do To Get Ready Now
