Frank The Honorable Cody Harris The Honorable Cole Hefner The Honorable Stephanie Klick The Honorable Eddie Lucio III The Honorable Christina Morales The Honorable Tom Oliverson MD October 1, 2020 Honorable Members of the Statewide Health Care Costs Select Committee, On behalf of The Texas Association of Freestanding Emergency Centers (TAFEC), we would like to submit the following information for the interim charges related to the information on health care costs in Texas. TAFEC is a member-based association representing more than 100 freestanding emergency centers and an industry which employs nearly five thousand Texans. As you may know, Freestanding Emergency Centers (FECs) are fully equipped emergency departments staffed by board-certified, emergency medicine-trained physicians and registered nurses who are on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These facilities are fully equipped for all medical emergencies, are highly regulated by the state and comply with all state EMTALA requirements, which mandate treatment of all patients regardless of their ability to pay. FECs have been a valuable resource during this national health crisis in treating Texans as well as helping relieve pressure on overburdened hospitals. Many healthcare facilities first opted not to offer COVID-19 assessments, leaving FECs, hospitals, and government entities as the lone providers willing or able to take the risk. As the demand grew, it was not uncommon to see patients waiting for many of the government and community testing centers’ appointments for 7- 14 days after exposure or onset of symptoms, which put pressure on FECs for those patients seeking immediate care.

  • April 29, 2020 the Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box
    April 29, 2020 The Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box 12428 Austin, TX 78711 Delivered via Email Dear Governor Abbott: Long-term care facilities like nursing homes, state supported living centers, and group homes are now the epicenters of the COVID-19 pandemic. While media outlets have rightly focused on the deaths in nursing homes across the country, people with disabilities and older adults face increased risks in all institutional and congregate settings. Like nursing homes, there have been similar outbreaks and deaths in our state supported living centers, state hospitals, and group homes. Our state government can and must do more to protect our most vulnerable Texans. That is why we respectfully request the following critical measures to defend our elderly Texans, Texans with disabilities, and the Texans on the frontline serving these communities. • Immediate additional funding through an emergency Texas Medicaid rate increase for long-term and intermediate care facilities to help cover increased costs for direct-care staff wages and personal protective equipment (PPE); • Greater transparency in the reporting of COVID-19 deaths and cases in nursing home facilities, state supported living centers, state hospitals, and group homes; • Mandatory available COVID-19 testing for every employee and resident of a nursing home facility, state supported living centers, state hospitals, or group home in Texas. Thank you for your consideration of our request, and ensuring Texas protects our most vulnerable. Please do not hesitate

The first section examines the location of the members of the Texas Senate and of the Texas House on the liberal-conservative dimension along which legislative politics takes place in Austin. In both chambers, every Republican is more conservative than every Democrat and every Democrat is more liberal than every Republican. There does, however, exist substantial ideological diversity within the respective Democratic and Republican delegations in each chamber. The second section explores the extent to which each senator and each representative was on the winning side of the non-lopsided final passage votes (FPVs) on which they voted.

  • Manny Ramirez Announces Candidacy for Tarrant County Commissioner
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE: June 16, 2021 CONTACT: Craig Murphy PHONE: 817-845-0111 EMAIL: [email protected] MANNY RAMIREZ ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR TARRANT COUNTY COMMISSIONER Fort Worth Police Officers Association President, Manny Ramirez, today announced he will be a candidate for Tarrant County Commissioner in the 4th Precinct. Ramirez is a 15-year veteran of the Fort Worth Police Department. Ramirez’ leadership was vital in the negotiation of a solution to a $1.6 billion pension crisis, with no negative impact to retirees or taXpayers. Manny led the charge in Fort Worth and in Austin to protect all Texans from government overreach. Ramirez is the co-founder of a successful construction company and was appointed by Greg Abbott to serve on the Board of Directors of the TeXas DMV. “Northwest Tarrant County has fallen behind in both critical infrastructure projects and valuable business developments,” said Ramirez. “Every day our roads get more congested, our schools get more crowded, and our public safety system is stretched thinner. To successfully manage our exponential growth, we must have new leaders ready to solve these problems.” Manny is a husband, a father, a police officer, a businessman, and a steadfast Christian conservative. “As Tarrant County moves into the 21st century, we must protect TeXas values, honor those who came before us, and cast a clear vision for the future. I am looking forward to bringing this incredible track record of success to the Tarrant County Commissioners Court.” Ramirez announces his candidacy with endorsements of key local conservatives including: Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, State Senator Drew Springer, and State Representatives Craig Goldman, Tony Tinderholt, Matt Krause, Phil King, and David Cook.

  • August 10, 2020 the Honorable Chad Wolf Acting Secretary U.S
    August 10, 2020 The Honorable Chad Wolf Acting Secretary U.S. Department of Homeland Security Washington, D.C. 20528 Dear Acting Secretary Wolf: We want to thank you for your leadership on securing the southern border and commend the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) continued dedication to helping mitigate the spread of COVID-19. As you are aware, states along the U.S.-Mexico border are experiencing a surge of COVID-19 cases. While Arizona, California, and Texas are leading the country daily in case numbers, the high concentration of positive percentages and even deaths in counties and localities directly along the southern border is astonishing. For example, last week, Hidalgo County, Texas (a heavily trafficked border crossing county) alone recorded more deaths than the daily total in all but six states1. In every non-border state, we have seen trends of larger and denser counties reporting more deaths than smaller counties – however, that is not the case when comparing larger, denser counties in the state of Texas to Hidalgo County 2. This is not a coincidence. While we were pleased that DHS extended the restrictions for non-essential travel at our southern border until August 21, 2020, we believe more must be done to ensure that this policy is properly enforced and not subject to any loopholes. We fear that overly broad exemptions regarding what is deemed “essential travel” are impeding efforts to contain the spread of the virus, flooding our health care system along the border with medical tourists3, and are intrinsically linked to an uptick in COVID-19 cases along the U.S.-Mexico border.
