1. Dead last in percentage insured, too, if I'm not mistaken

Imagine my astonishment when I flipped on the TV in San Antonio one morning to discover that not only are one-third of Texans uninsured, in San Antionio, the nation's 8th-largest city, that figure rises to more than half. :scared:

2. It's just stunning that Perry always leaves out that fact.

Well, not really. He is a Repug.

3. Add to that the fact that they have cut funding in ALL school districts.

Lead the nation in uninsured adults and children.
