  • Texas Association of Freestanding Emergency Centers
    Statewide Health Care Costs, Select Committee: The Honorable Greg Bonnen MD, Chair The Honorable Senfronia Thompson, Vice Chair The Honorable Garnet Coleman The Honorable Philip Cortez The Honorable James B. 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.

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.

  • Annie's List Endorses in Six Primary Races for the Texas House and Senate
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 13, 2020 Contact: Gracie Padilla ​ [email protected] 512-350-4435 Annie’s List endorses in six primary races for the Texas House and Senate Flipping seats and protecting last cycle’s gains are top priorities (AUSTIN, TX) - Annie’s List, the statewide political organization that works to elect pro-choice, progressive women to office in Texas, is proud to announce six new endorsements in advance of the March 3 primary election. Texas House endorsements include: · Akilah Bacy for Texas House District 138 ​ ​ · Elizabeth Beck for Texas House District 97 ​ ​ · Rocio Gosewehr Hernandez for Texas House District 67 ​ ​ · Natali Hurtado for Texas House District 126 ​ ​ Texas Senate endorsements include: · Sara Stapleton Barrera for Texas Senate District 27 ​ ​ · Xochil Peña Rodriguez for Texas Senate District 19 ​ ​ All but Hurtado are first-time candidates, and they each face at least one primary opponent that is male. Hurtado successfully defeated her primary opponent in 2018 by a landslide, and she went on to gain over a thousand more votes in the general election than the party’s nominee in 2016. Barrera is challenging long-time Democratic Senator Eddie Lucio, who has a well-documented history of supporting anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ policies. “Each candidate brings new perspectives to the table,” said Royce Brooks, Annie’s List Executive Director. “They are mothers, veterans, lawyers, deeply involved in their communities, and well-equipped to represent the districts in which they live. We’re looking forward to helping them be successful in both the March primary and in November.” Earlier this week, Annie’s List also re-endorsed over 20 legislative incumbents.
