Proposition 8? Property Tax?

 The article that I found was Rio Grande Valley Needs Proposition 8 at My San Antonio. The article talks about how we need to vote for proposition 8, but tells us how the new proposition will effect our taxes. Proposition 8 wants to make Hidgalo County a hospital district by adding a medical school in that region, so it could help the one of the most medically undeserved and economically disadvantaged region in the state of Texas. It is a very rural region where there is a high rate of uninsured people. It seems like a legit plan but it will repeal one of the amendments that restrict the legistuture to taxing a maximum of 10 cents per 100 dollars. If the law is passed it would allow the maximum tax rate to be 75 cents.
It seems like this proposition is going to be a very hard one to vote for because we can not just leave the Hidaglo County to be the largest county without a hospital, but the property tax will sky rocket if we do. There is no winning with this proposition. It seems more important if there is a hospital than not having a high tax rate. The tax is just another price to pay for health. This proposition would not effect most Texans directly but it seems it will help out the Rio Grande Valley so I would vote for this proposition. I am know I would not be effected because I do not have to worry about that property tax but to the people that it does effect it seems to be a hard decision to make. On the other hand is your well-being have a cost? This is going to be a hard choice but I think that the health-care would be more important.

"Dysfunctional On Insurance"

On October, 7, 2013 My San Antonio published "Texas is dysfunctional on insurance". The article is about how Texas had chosen not to expand the Medicaid to the adults in Texas and how it will effect the Texas's rates of families and working adults being insured or not. The article shows how the author he feels about Texas and sarcastically "thanks" Texas for the upcoming problems that will happen because of the choice of not expanding Medicaid for the working adults in Texas. The author focus on the showing the statics and uses it as his or her argument. The article made a point about how the Texas would try to take the cheap and easy way out. The author's main argument is that Texas has the highest rate of uninsured people. The author also brought up the other states that did not approve the Affordable Care Act and compared the rates of uninsured people. It shows a large number altogether but Texas still had the bigger number in uninsured. At the end of the article the author talks about how this is one of the examples of the dysfunctional government and Texas is the leader of the "pack". This article showed me a piece of how the government seems to work. It proved a point on how Texas rates are not going to be any better if things keep going the way that it is going now. The author gave me a little bit of his feeling towards the Texas's government that kind of help his argument with me. This article was a good opinion article to me I would side with the author. The author seems to be tired of all the fuss that Texas is making and he is showing his feelings in the article.
