54. Texas currently has a "high risk" pool. That "insurance"
(read, we'll try to save your butt if you have a heart attack/stroke/organ failure, but visits and prescriptions aren't covered) would cost me around $900, and I would have to cover my son (a perfectly healthy 11 year old) with the same shitty non coverage. This high risk pool, currently administered by our friends at BC/BS would continue in effect in Texas if the vote goes through. It would also continue to be my only option.

I opted to increase my life insurance benefits instead, while I order prescriptions from India and hope for the best.
