Access to affordable health care can improve health outcomes, quality of life and financial stability. However, affordable health care is increasingly out of reach for many Texans.
Our latest data diagnoses the state of health care in Texas and highlights what can be done to address the biggest health care challenges we’re facing.
Did you know? Texas has the largest uninsured population (nearly 5 million) of all states.
Federal law required hospitals operating in the United States to provide clear, accessible pricing information about their services beginning January 1, 2021. Texas passed a similar law that went into effect in September of that year.
Working with data science firm January Advisors, Texas 2036 attempted to locate and download data for 602 hospitals in Texas.
For far too many Texans, health care has become unaffordable – to the point of being unobtainable.
Our data shows that the price of health care – even among those with insurance – is causing people to skip the care they need.
With healthy markets, Texans are able to get the care they need, when they need it, at a price they can afford.
