THE REALITY
- More than one million people in the Houston area are uninsured.
- People without insurance are forced to turn to already overcrowded emergency rooms for primary care, a factor in higher health care costs.
- One of the primary reasons people are uninsured is the high cost of health insurance coverage.
- Any meaningful new health care legislation in the near future appears unlikely.
