Abbott and Patrick Wrong For Texans in Tarrant County Texas. Same For All Of Texas.

https://www.facebook.com/ProgressTexas/photos/a.630416033710722.1073741834.109140985838232/630416210377371/?type=1&theater

Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick's opposition to federal health care dollars is costing Tarrant County 24,893 jobs and denying insurance coverage to 141,000 local residents.

Will you share this infograph and let your families and friends know about Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick's unprincipled opposition to 24,893 local jobs?

Texas hospitals, medical professionals, and elected officials in both parties have joined with 23 local Chambers of Commerce and the Texas Association of Business to support medicaid expansion.

Adding 24,893 local jobs in the next few years would be a game-changer for our economy.

But it's not just about the money - it's about having a healthy and productive workforce. Until we expand coverage, 141,000 county residents will be without quality, affordable health care - including 85,000 working individuals and families who barely earn minimum wage.

Adding 24, 893 local jobs in the next few years would be a game-changer for the Tarrant County area economy. Republicans are not in the least interested in job creation as the GOP has defeated Jobs Bill after Jobs Bill in the Congress.

Here is a window into their grassroots austerity thinking:
