38. Texas officials were not set up to handle Biometrics and HazMat without Medicaid Expansion.

Rick Perry turned down Billions of dollars it would take for those without ACA and/or Medicaid Expansion to be contained and treated at Texas hospitals, except maybe at large county hospitals like Parkland where the Dallas County Hospital sends the cost on to Dallas County Hospital District taxpayers. Dallas County residence get a yearly bill from the Dallas County Hospital District.

Answer in Texas, turn people away if they have no health insurance.

I think Texans deserve to know what the cost to Texas will be. It seems there could be a law suite to pay the victims. No Medicaid Expansion is really going to cost Texas, in my opinion.
