@JackCraver These are very different than the original Project Connect map still posted here. https://t.co/czq1u9jXj9 Looks like only one of the five new options goes underground downtown.
To solve this problem in the long term, Texas needs to take actions to restore the health of its unhealthy markets. Rooting out the harmful effects of consolidation and market concentration will help teachers, the state budget, and employees who get their insurance through work.
#txlege is considering proposals to โฌ๏ธ premiums on teacher health insurance. The debate over whether teachers, districts, or the state should pay more misses the big point: health care prices are too high, and impact all employers. https://t.co/8KwzuZ4WWJ

@TMobile - Suggestion for improving your 5G internet offering. Allow the app that manages the wifi router to make changes to the router remotely (that is, when you're not connected to the router's wifi).
I wrote about the state of price transparency in Texas -- what the laws are, where we are in implementation, and what's to come in the future. https://t.co/jXbNCuvx29
It's an odd-numbered year, and that means #Texas lawmakers have convened for another session.
Jack Frazee, Lindsay Lanagan, Anthony Haley, and @Cmillernd2005 are discussing notable legislation for this year and more in Austin.

Economic theory implies that even if employers pay for health benefits, the costs fall on the workers, because workers see reductions in other forms of compensation.
Regardless of who makes the payment, all such funds come from employees, @mfcannon writes: https://t.co/bWzj40Dcuu

@TomOliverson Ensuring that payers of health care don't engage in self-dealing to advantage their own interests at the expense of patients is of crucial interest.
@charles_gaba@kgmom219@SheronESidbury@TomOliverson I've got estimates on all this - our user fees would be somewhere around $400M, our exchange expenses somewhere around $150M, and the net cost of expansion would be around $30M.
Millions (and millions and millions) of Texans live in areas that don't have enough healthcare professionals to care for them. Let's get NPs to fill those gaps so Texans can get care close to home. Thanks to Sen @CesarJBlanco for taking the lead on this critical issue.
