I'm Julie Johnson โ wife of a Physician, mother to two boys, & Texas State Representative for House District 115. I authored #HB3871 - the bipartisan #LiveWellTX program to bring home our tax dollars and expand Medicaid to 1.5+ million Texans. #MedEx4TX #TodaysVoicesTues #TXlege
Welcome to #TodaysVoicesTues! Letโs talk about why this should be the year Texas expands Medicaid. First, whoโs joining us today? Introduce yourselves! #MedEx4TX
It's not too late to cover millions of Texans & bring in billions of $ for Texas too. #HB3871 #TXlege
"The #LiveWellTX plan included narrower provisions unique to the state that would still bring in billions of dollars that Texas now leaves on the table."

A report analyzing the impact of drawing down federal funds in @juliejohnsonTX's #HB3871 says that expanding coverage will generate more than $15.5B in revenue for TX by 2025.ย It also estimates that TX would add nearly 300,000 jobs & cover an additional 1.7 million Texans #TXlege
The #TXlege had a real chance to make a huge difference this session by passing #HB3871 aka #LiveWellTX. Instead, @DanPatrick chose to behave like a child and deny coverage to 1+ million Texans in order to ram through a highly discriminatory social agenda.

@DanPatrick โAt the end of the day, the people of Texas need to demand that of their representatives,โ Johnson says. โThe people need to demand that the state improve healthcare in this state and focus on the number one issue to Texans.โ #TXlege #LiveWellTX #HB3871 https://t.co/veXGh86hZJ

At 2 PM CDT, "Medicaid Momentum in TX" w @lauraguerrac of @SickofitTx on #HB3871 #LiveWellTX & 1115 Waiver on KPFT People's News, 90.1 FM Houston, streaming https://t.co/nS1tShV2Vb & archived at https://t.co/BJaZlEcOaI
My staff and I are so excited to be featured on @ASP today. Thank you @ChrisEvans for this awesome opportunity! I got to explain how drawing down federal dollars through our proposed #LiveWellTX program could increase access to healthcare for millions of Texans! #TXlege #HB3871
"Medicaid expansion would enable millions of people in this country, and in particular, Texas, to access health care coverage." Hear Rep. @juliejohnsonTX on #MedicaidExpansion in this #DailyPoint. Watch the full video to learn more ๐ https://t.co/roafOFaHu9
Yes, the coverage expansion amendment fell short last week in the #txlege.
But don't lose sight of a big achievement: A MAJORITY of the TX House has signed onto #HB3871 the #LiveWellTX bill by @juliejohnsonTX to accept federal funds & increase coverage. https://t.co/KAu8TUmCle
Glad to see strong bipartisan support for the Live Well Texas proposal at the Legislature to draw down federal funds and increase health coverage.

#TexasDeservesBetter than the highest uninsured rate in the nation. The #txlege must act on bipartisan legislation to provide Texans with coverage access - they must give #HB3871 the #LiveWellTX bill a hearing now!

.@JasonWhitely at @wfaa recently asked me how I got 9 R's to sign on to #HB3871 (#LiveWellTX) in the #TXlege when they've avoided increasing health coverage in Texas for 10 years.
The answer?
I actually talked to them.

Thank you @JasonWhitely for sitting down to talk about #HB3871 with me. Drawing down federal funds to increase healthcare coverage for 1.5+ million Texans is the smart and responsible thing to do. We have the votes in the House. Let #LiveWellTX have a hearing. #TXlege @wfaa
EXPANDING MEDICAID FINALLY has the votes to pass the Texas House, so why isn't it moving? More importantly, how did state Rep. @juliejohnsonTX get nine Republicans to support it?
.@rscot & I are looking for a few good docs to help us work on #MedicaidExpansion in Texas (#HB3871 & #S117), Mississippi, Alabama, South Dakota (@SoDakDoc), & Wyoming
Join @drsforamerica as we advocate for health coverage for our patients!
Well folks, it didn't go our way today.
The vote on @GFColeman's amendment was out of sync with voters & the bipartisan support for #HB3871.
But there's still an urgent need for a TX health coverage solution. And we'll keeping fighting for one.
Thank you for joining with us!
Ugh. The House voted down the amendment 68-80.
We have 76 sponsors on #HB3871 โ a majority of the TX House. #LiveWellTX will draw down federal funds to increase healthcare access for 1.5 million Texans, but R's in the #TXlege won't give it a hearing. So, today @GFColeman will offer it as an amendment to the budget. #TXlege
Johnson and Johnson working for a healthier workforce/citizenry! Fiscally smart! Nothing better! Thank you! #txlege #SD16 #HD115 #SB117 #HB3871 @juliejohnsonTX @NathanForTexas https://t.co/t4g7X5lZtm
TOMORROW AT 9AM: I will be joining @GFColeman for a press conference with @RDBobbyGuerra to discuss his amendment to #SB1 and my #HB3871 to reduce the number of uninsured Texans.

We have the votes in the House. The time to do this is now. It is irresponsible not to accept the deal on the table from the federal government.

#txlege UPDATE: #HB3871 by @juliejohnsonTX which would effectively expand Medicaid under the 'live Well Texas Program' now has an updated author list amounting to 76 (which is enough to pass the House if brought up for a vote). The list includes 9 Republicans.
