More people live in nursing homes in Texas than on the island of Gavelston, and they should be afforded the same quality of care any other population of that size is provided yet more tax dollars go into tourism, entertainment, and the driving factors of the economy of the island than into increasing the quality of care in the elder population?
Texas Medicare System:
The medicare system in Texas is trending in the right direction and an overwhelming show os support from all parties involved are looking into how to make the Texas Health Care system better including many players (some you may not of even thought of) who not only know it is the RIGHT THING TO Do but it also helps the bottom line of many for-profit companies like:
