MEDICARE / MEDICAID

 

In Central Texas, particularly across the diverse and rapidly growing communities of U.S. House District 10, Medicare and Medicaid are not just programs—they are lifelines. From rural towns like Bellville and Brenham to expanding suburbs like Katy and Cypress, thousands of seniors, low-income families, children, and individuals with disabilities rely on these services for essential health care. For many, Medicaid is the only access point for preventive care, maternal health, and treatment for chronic conditions. For our aging population, Medicare provides the security and dignity that every person deserves after a lifetime of work.

 

Yet, in a state that has repeatedly refused to expand Medicaid coverage, the stakes are even higher. Texas has one of the highest uninsured rates in the country, and District 10 reflects that crisis. Hospitals and clinics are stretched thin, rural healthcare is under threat, and working families are forced to choose between medical bills and basic necessities. We need leadership in Congress that defends and strengthens Medicare and Medicaid—not one that votes to gut them. Protecting these programs means protecting the health, stability, and future of Central Texas.
