Texas Democrats have plans for what would be one of the largest expansions of health care access since the passage of the Affordable Care Act if they manage to take control of the State House, in a flip of power some believe might be possible if turnout is high for Joe Biden voters, though polls right now still show President Donald Trump with a slim lead in the historically Republican stronghold....
The plan also calls for expansion of coverage specifically aimed at women, including 12-month postpartum Medicaid coverage for new mothers who lose a child, which happens at a higher rate in Texas than any other state in the nation. Democrats would also push to overturn legislation that has restricted access to abortions in the state, saying in its plan, “abortion is constitutionally protected, and it is imperative the Legislature respects and defends this right.”
Getting the legislation passed could be difficult, though, since Gov. Greg Abbott is not up for reelection until 2022, and Democrats would need to flip nine seats in the House and another four in the Texas senate to gain control of the legislature.into competitive races across the state of Texas, from the presidential contest to down ballot state house races.
$6.2 million is coming from the liberal group Forward Majority, a needed cash influx to Democrats in the state since the group reported in August that Republicans hadWhat To Watch Forhas reserved more than $6 million worth of TV ads that will air up until Election Day, as Biden aims to become the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry Texas since Jimmy Carter in 1976.
