This week, Texas Medical Center released results of their “Nation’s Pulse” health care survey, which showed most consumers feel health insurance is important yet too expensive.

The reports says:

  • Sixty-one percent of Texans pay more out-of-pocket for health care versus two years ago – more than any other state
  • More than 6 in 10 uninsured Texans (65 percent) do not have insurance because it’s too expensive
  • More than half of Texans say that they cut down on other expenses to pay for healthcare (53 percent). They cut back on: savings, clothing and food
