Dewhurst’s concern for uninsured
It’s great to see Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst express such deep concern about people in Texas who need health insurance.
Dewhurst sent a letter last week to Julia Rathgeber, commissioner of the Texas Department of Insurance, urging that she postpone the planned Jan. 1 cancellation of the state’s high-risk insurance pool.
That pool, financed by premiums and by assessments against insurance companies that issue policies in Texas, provides coverage for people who have been rejected by those same companies.
