State Rep. Cody Harris' bill to help preserve access care across East Texas passes State House
State Rep. Cody Harris' (R-Palestine) HB 3505 was passed by the Texas House to give rural communities the tools they need to keep their hospitals strong.
Rep. Harris' bill to make Texas 'Nuclear Capitol of the World' passes State House
In 2019, Harris said they created a tool to help smaller counties work together to fund Medicaid through local participation programs. 'But unless the Legislature acts, the Northeast Health Care Provider Participation District, which supports hospitals in Henderson, Hopkins and Lamar County, will expire in 2025,' Harris said
This bill will extend this 'life-saving' program and give rural communities the stability they need to keep their secure and care available close to home.
Harris said he is proud to carry HB 3505 and fight for the future of rural healthcare in Texas.

Trump's First Term Degraded Military Health. His Second Must Rebuild It
Recently, Senators McConnell (R-KY) and Coons (D-DE) cosponsored a bill to invest more than $850 billion to strengthen our nation's defense industrial base, upgrade its shipbuilding capabilities, replenish munitions, and support key allies. Although these are worthy goals, Congress and the White House must not overlook the system that safeguards the health of American warfighters - our military's most important asset. Last March, the Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS), made pointed remarks at the outset of a hearing on stabilizing the military health system: America's Military Health System Is Unique Unlike the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) or private healthcare systems, military health must always be ready to deploy uniformed healthcare professionals anywhere in the world in support 0f U.S. combat operations and other missions, including peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance. To enable this work, the MHS maintains a network of stateside military hospitals and clinics, supplemented by healthcare purchased from private doctors and healthcare systems to treat active-duty service members, their family members, and military retirees. This second mission reinforces the first. The clinical duties that military doctors, nurses, and other health professionals perform in stateside military hospitals helps keep their skills sharp between deployments. It also allows them to teach and inspire the next generation of military healthcare professionals. In times of conflict, military hospitals receive and treat complex casualties. Finally, the high-quality care to wounded, ill and injured servicemembers as well as their families and military retirees helps the DoD recruit and retain its 'all-volunteer' force. Healthy Forces Are Vital For Battlefield Success Military health has played a key role in American history since the founding of our republic. In the Winter of 1777, General George Washington ordered the inoculation of the Continental Army against smallpox. It was the first time in history that an Army was immunized by command order. Washington also instituted policies on camp cleanliness and took other actions to preserve his army's fighting strength. The principles he established still guide military medicine to this day. Health protection is so important to preserving fighting strength that the U.S. military monitors every unit's 'disease and non-battle injury (DNBI)' rates to evaluate the quality of its leadership and medical support. This discipline paid off in Afghanistan and Iraq. Despite logistical challenges and austere conditions, military medicine drove rates of DNBIs and deaths from severe battlefield wounds to the lowest levels in the history of warfare. It's one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of American medicine. Many of the innovations they pioneered have been adopted by civilian healthcare. Post-War Decisions Eroded Hard-Won Gains Instead of recognizing the value of military health, budget officials in the Pentagon viewed the MHS as little more than an HMO for beneficiaries. As the wars wound down, they began siphoning military health funding and positions for other DoD priorities. As a result, spending on military healthcare flattened, and is now far behind healthcare spending in the VA and our nation overall. During Trump's first term, the Pentagon compounded this error by directing military families and retirees to go elsewhere for treatment. Then, as visits and hospital admissions fell, they downsized or closed many military clinics and hospitals. Even top hospitals, such as Walter Reed and Naval Medical Center San Diego, were left underfunded, understaffed, and underutilized. This weakened the link between stateside care and battlefield care. By the time the Joint Chiefs of Staff realized that privatization had gone too far, the damage was done. In 2023, then Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks issued a directive to reverse course and begin restoring the MHS. What About Now? Today, different leaders are in charge. In the past, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has advocated diverting military and veteran healthcare benefits to enhance the Pentagon's "war-fighting capability." Military and veterans' healthcare IS a warfighting capability. It's a major reason why American servicemembers fight so hard, accept such risks and reenlist to do it again. Until recently, they knew that every time they were deployed, their families would be cared for by doctors and nurses who understood the stresses of military life. They were also confident that if anyone in their unit became ill or was wounded in battle, they'd receive the best healthcare in the world, expert rehabilitation, and if needed, long-term care. If the Pentagon resumes its push to privatize the military health system, it will harm the health of our armed forces and diminish their battlefield performance. Two former Hegseth aides said as much in a recent New York Times op-ed: Why You and Trump Should Care About Military Health Although most Americans give little thought to military health, servicemembers, veterans and military retirees know better. If any member of your family, a friend, or a neighbor currently serves in uniform, you should care. If one or more of your children or grandchildren are considering military service, you should care. If you value any of the numerous advances military health has contributed to American medicine throughout our nation's history, you should care. As Commander-in-Chief of our nation's armed forces, President Trump should care, and direct Defense Secretary Hegseth and his senior staff to rebuild our nation's military health system.

If you live in these states, your health care won't be as big or beautiful
Democratic-leaning states will feel more of the impact of sweeping Medicaid cuts included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, according to a new analysis by Oxford Economics. The report, authored by lead economist Barbara Denham, says that millions of Americans – regardless of where they live – will lose access to health insurance because of the tighter eligibility rules and new work requirements. Immigrants will be disproportionately affected, with many losing coverage under Medicaid, Medicare and the Children's Health Insurance Program. States such as California and New York – which have both expanded Medicaid and have large immigrant populations – are expected to be hit hardest. Other vulnerable states with large immigrant populations include Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico and Washington, D.C. 'Federal funding cuts and the expiration of the Marketplace subsidies will have several economic consequences,' Denham wrote. 'The number of newly uninsured will rise significantly, putting more at risk of worse long-term well-being, which will sap productivity growth' States with the highest percentage of residents enrolled in Medicaid Unable to view our graphics? Click here to see them. The new law limits federal matching funds for noncitizens' medical care, shifting the financial burden to state governments and hospitals. That's particularly concerning for states with high percentages of foreign-born residents, many of whom rely on Medicaid. The federal cuts to Medicaid funding come at a time when states are looking to trim their spending, too. The Kaiser Family Foundation recently reported California has paused enrolling new immigrants in its health coverage program while Illinois has stopped state-funded health benefits for all immigrant adults between 42 to 64. States such as Idaho and Tennessee also enacted legislation limiting immigrant access to state health care benefits. States with the highest percentage of foreign-born residents Since 2012, 40 states and the District of Columbia have expanded Medicaid under federal initiatives. But with the expiration of marketplace subsidies and new restrictions on immigrant coverage, a handful of states now face the steepest declines in federal health care funding. Based on Oxford Economics' analysis of Congressional Budget Office and KFF data, more left-leaning states will lose more money per resident as the new law rolls out, but right-leaning Louisiana stands to lose the most ($5,855 per resident) of any state. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Wyoming – states that didn't expand their Medicaid benefits – will see some of the smallest cuts. How much Medicaid funding each state is projected to lose per resident Some states have passed laws to buffer their residents or their budgets against federal cuts. For example: ◾ Their residents: New York, Missouri, Oklahoma, and South Dakota require coverage for adults earning up to 138% of the federal poverty line. ◾ Their budgets: Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Utah and Virginia tie Medicaid spending to federal funding levels.

Health groups aim to counter growing ‘national scandal' of elder homelessness
At age 82, Roberta Rabinovitz realized she had no place to go. A widow, she had lost both her daughters to cancer, after living with one and then the other, nursing them until their deaths. Then she moved in with her brother in Florida, until he also died. And so last fall, while recovering from lung cancer, Rabinovitz ended up at her grandson's home in Burrillville, Rhode Island, where she slept on the couch and struggled to navigate the steep staircase to the shower. That wasn't sustainable, and with apartment rents out of reach, Rabinovitz joined the growing population of older Americans unsure of where to lay their heads at night. But Rabinovitz was fortunate. She found a place to live, through what might seem an unlikely source — a health care nonprofit, the PACE Organization of Rhode Island. Around the country, arranging for housing is a relatively new and growing challenge for such PACE groups, which are funded through Medicaid and Medicare. PACE stands for a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, and the organizations aim to keep frail, older people in their homes. But a patient can't stay at home if they don't have one. As housing costs rise, organizations responsible for people's medical care are realizing that to ensure their clients have a place to live, they must venture outside their lanes. Even hospitals — in Denver, New Orleans, New York City and elsewhere — have started investing in housing, recognizing that health isn't possible without it. And among older adults, the need is especially growing. In the U.S., 1 in 5 people who were homeless in 2024 were 55 or older, with the total older homeless population up 6% from the previous year. Dennis Culhane, a University of Pennsylvania professor who specializes in homelessness and housing policy, calculated that the number of men older than 60 living in shelters roughly tripled from 2000 to 2020. 'It's a national scandal, really, that the richest country in the world would have destitute elderly and disabled people,' Culhane said. Over decades of research, Culhane has documented the plight of people born between 1955 and 1965 who came of age during recessions and never got an economic foothold. Many in this group endured intermittent homelessness throughout their lives, and now their troubles are compounded by aging. But other homeless older adults are new to the experience. Many teeter on the edge of poverty, said Sandy Markwood, CEO of USAging, a national association representing what are known as area agencies on aging. A single incident can tip them into homelessness — the death of a spouse, job loss, a rent increase, an injury or illness. If cognitive decline starts, an older person may forget to pay their mortgage. Even those with paid-off houses often can't afford rising property taxes and upkeep. 'No one imagines anybody living on the street at 75 or 80,' Markwood said. 'But they are.' President Donald Trump's recent budget law, which makes substantial federal cuts to Medicaid, the public insurance program for those with low incomes or disabilities, will make matters worse for older people with limited incomes, said Yolanda Stevens, program and policy analyst with the National Alliance to End Homelessness. If people lose their health coverage or their local hospital closes, it will be harder for them to maintain their health and pay the rent. 'It's a perfect storm,' Stevens said. 'It's an unfortunate, devastating storm for our older Americans.' Adding to the challenges, the Labor Department recently halted a job training program intended to keep low-income older people in the workforce. Those circumstances have sent PACE health plans throughout the country into uncharted waters, prompting them to set up shop within senior housing projects, partner with housing providers, or even join forces with nonprofit developers to build their own. A 1997 federal law recognized PACE organizations as a provider type for Medicare and Medicaid. Today, some 185 operate in the U.S., each serving a defined geographic area, with a total of more than 83,000 participants. They enroll people 55 and older who are sick enough for nursing home care, and then provide everything their patients need to stay home despite their frailty. They also run centers that function as medical clinics and adult day centers and provide transportation. These organizations primarily serve impoverished people with complex medical conditions who are eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare. They pool money from both programs and operate within a set budget for each participant. PACE officials worry that, as federal funding for Medicaid programs shrinks, states will curtail support. But the PACE concept has always had bipartisan support, said Robert Greenwood, a senior vice president at the National PACE Association, because its services are significantly less expensive than nursing home care. The financing structure gives PACE the flexibility to do what it takes to keep participants living on their own, even if it means buying an air conditioner or taking a patient's dog to the vet. Taking on the housing crisis is another step toward the same goal. In the Detroit area, PACE Southeast Michigan, which serves 2,200 participants, partners with the owners of senior housing. The landlords agree to keep the rent affordable, and PACE provides services to their tenants who are members. Housing providers 'like to be full, they like their seniors cared for, and we do all of that,' said Mary Naber, president and CEO of PACE Southeast Michigan. For participants who become too infirm to live on their own, the Michigan organization has leased a wing in an independent living center, where it provides round-the-clock supportive care. The organization also is partnering with a nonprofit developer to create a cluster of 21 shipping containers converted into little houses in Eastpointe, just outside Detroit. Still in the planning stages, Naber said, the refurbished containers will probably rent for about $1,000 to $1,100 a month. In San Diego, the PACE program at St. Paul's Senior Services cares for chronically homeless people as they move into housing, offering not just health services but the backup needed to keep tenants in their homes, such as guidance on paying bills on time and keeping their apartments clean. St. Paul's also helps those already in housing but clinging to precarious living arrangements, said Carol Castillon, vice president of its PACE operations, by connecting them with community resources, helping fill out forms for housing assistance, and providing meals and household items to lower expenses. At PACE Rhode Island, which serves nearly 500 people, about 10 to 15 participants each month become homeless or at risk of homelessness, a rare situation five or six years ago, CEO Joan Kwiatkowski said. The organization contracts with assisted living facilities, but its participants are sometimes rejected because of prior criminal records, substance use, or health care needs that the facilities feel they can't handle. And public housing providers often have no openings. So PACE Rhode Island is planning to buy its own housing, Kwiatkowski said. PACE also has reserved four apartments at an assisted living facility in Bristol for its participants, paying rent when they're unoccupied. Rabinovitz moved into one recently. Rabinovitz had worked as a senior credit analyst for a health care company, but now her only income is her Social Security check. She keeps $120 from that check for personal supplies, and the rest goes to rent, which includes meals. Once a week or so, Rabinovitz rides a PACE van to the organization's center, where she gets medical care, including dental work, physical therapy, and medication — always, she said, from 'incredibly loving people.' When she's not feeling well enough to make the trek, PACE sends someone to her. Recently, a technician with a portable X-ray machine scanned her sore hip as she lay in her own bed in her new studio apartment. 'It's tiny, but I love it,' she said of the apartment, which she's decorated in purple, her favorite color.
