The recent release of Affordable Care Act health insurance enrollment numbers in Texas reveal a “coverage gap” and other important needs across the state.
Texas is doubling down on its efforts to improve the state’s mental and behavioral health system. Despite these efforts, the State Legislature left one critical topic out of the discussion: Medicaid expansion.
Be honest. If you had to take a test on knowing the ins and out of health insurance terms, would you pass?
See how the Foundation’s partnership with Seminary of the Southwest and Burke is already working to help fill the need for quality mental health services in East Texas.
The latest Affordable Care Act health insurance enrollment numbers show some encouraging trends, but much more can be done to help increase access to health services for all Texans.
Health insurance costs are going up, but it’s time to inject some reality into the national conversation about health care and how we pay for it.
Funding from the Episcopal Health Foundation and other philanthropies can provide a launching pad for a nascent idea, build the capacity of a long-standing organization, and absorb risk for high-risk but high-reward initiatives. But our dollars cannot — nor should they have to — compensate for a faulty system.
Access to health care alone does not create healthy communities, nor will more access to more care. We need something different: we need to set our sights on health, not just health care.
