As we focus on Health Care Reform at the National level, the Texas Catholic Conference continues to advocate for health care improvements at home in Texas. We wrote a letter today asking for support in improving the Medicaid eligibility process.
Last month, nearly 85,000 fewer Texas children had Medicaid health coverage in October, compared to September enrollment levels. This is the second instance in less than a year of more than 70,000 Texas children losing Medicaid coverage in a single month's time, which is a symptom of broader challenges in our state's eligibility system.
Improving health care is the responsibility of all and going to the aid of others is a duty, we reiterated in the letter.
