Valley men lacking health insurance

[TexasTowelie]

BROWNSVILLE, August 6 - A staggering 60.8 percent of Cameron County men aged 18 to 39 lack health insurance, according to a new study.

That puts Cameron County No. 1 in the nation. Starr County comes in second in the nation with 59.5 percent and Hidalgo County third with 58.8 percent.

The study was produced by the left-leaning Center for American Progress Action Fund and is titled “The Counties that Need the Affordable Care Act the Most.” Its authors are Anna Chu and Charles Posner.

Counties on the Texas-Mexico border dominate the various “30 Worst” lists provided by the study.

1. Wonder if the medical price differential between

US and Mexico has anything to do with that.

2. A Person can apply into the Mexico International Health Care. It will cover

everything except for pre-existing conditions for the first two years for foreigners. Then it covers everything. Please read the entire article. The premium is small.

3. I don't have to check the article right now since I'm about to see the real estate agent,

but will check it later. I know that a lot of people go to Mexico for dental work though.

The house in Brenham will be listed on the market starting today so I'm looking forward to liquidating my equity and moving to a larger city with public transportation and other urban amenities. The fights with my brother are occurring too frequently and placing significant stress not only on me, but my other siblings also.
