Houston Endowment joined the Episcopal Health Foundation to sponsor a new report on behalf of the Texas Alliance for Health Care. The report, prepared by Applied Policy on behalf of the Texas Alliance for Health Care, offers an analysis of the financial impact on Texas’ economy – today and into the future – of maintaining a high level of uninsured.
The high uninsured rate negatively affects labor productivity, business profitability, household financial stability, and future earnings and requires health care providers to absorb the costs of unsubsidized, uncompensated care.
