According to a 2008 Families USA study based on U.S. Census Bureau data, approximately 2,700 uninsured Texans of working age died because they didn't seek medical care. In other words, seven Texans a day died last year due to lack of health care.

Here is an unbelievable statement about health care from Cornyn:

Perry's philosophy is the policy foundation for statewide elected officials like U.S. Senator John Cornyn. Despite the fact that Texas has led the country for years as the state with largest uninsured population, Senator Cornyn stated, "We have created greater access to quality health care in Texas… so, you have to understand what I mean when I say I want to make Washington, D.C., and the rest of our country more like Texas , frankly, we know the policies that actually work."

We can do better than this. I just wonder if Obama gets a decent health care plan passed if Perry would just reject it. I have a feeling that the health care battle will be longer for us here in Texas.
