Roughly 5 million people in #Texas are uninsured. So who are they? #healthcare
That's what we wanted to find out in our latest multi-year study. Here's a breakdown of what we found so far.
That's what we wanted to find out in our latest multi-year study. Here's a breakdown of what we found so far.
Most of the roughly five million uninsured Texans already qualify for a government #health program or for federal subsidies that would help pay for coverage — but they have not signed up.

So, is 5 million a lot? Well, #Texas has the nation's highest #healthcare uninsured rate at 18% in 2021. Our national average is 8.6%

A couple of years ago I published a weekly matchups thread with charts for each game, and this year I'm bringing it back! While I'll normally share on Thursdays, I'm so excited for Week 1 to start that I'm sharing this week's today!
Let's have a great season, everyone! 🏈

Before I start, here's a description of the 3 charts:
1. Comparing OFF vs. DEF key stat rankings
2. Player distribution of 2021/22 DK points
3. Player % of team rushing/receiving expected fpts
In addition to these charts, I'll also include one stat nugget relevant to that game!

@BetoORourke - The #RioGrandeValley #RGV is turning RED because the GOP did NOT want the people focused on #Covid! So they focused all the RGV ills on the wall…#DidYouKnow that The RGV has suffered tremendous # of deaths? Why? Because the GOP told them not to focus on Covid!
GOP did this to support Trumps narrative-that Covid was no big deal when he knew it was deadly SO he focused on the WALL!
#RGV Counties Covid Deaths
• Cameron 2,021 (1 out of 209 people)
• Hidalgo 3,515 (1 out of 223)
• Starr 364 (1 out of 178)
• Willacy (1 out of 164)

Abbott followed Trump’s lead because #Texans were dying! Wall & then National Guard to direct attention from Covid deaths in #RGV!
Here’s a stark contrast: I live in Fort Bend County & the FBC deaths are (1 out of 657 people) 3-4 times less! Why?

#49ers RB situation:

#Browns Baker Mayfield
L shoulder dislocation: Returned to the game and was effective. Will be fine moving forward but is likely to require offseason labral repair surgery. If this was his R shoulder, he'd be done for the year

Does @IowaGOP @realiowacrs appreciate the good work that @ChuckGrassley is doing to point blame at #antifa for the #CapitolRiots? Understand that y'all need it because jailed constituents can't vote.
The #IAGOP could use to support remedial #literacy program for seniors elected from their ranks. They might be able to understand the #CapitolRiots better.

lol “among other issues” is doing a ton of work for an article not mentioning Easterby and his outsized role in the team.
Nobody trusts the owner. Or Easterby. Or Caserio for being Easterby’s pal. Their words/actions seem amateur, inauthentic and not grounded in reality.
Nobody trusts the owner. Or Easterby. Or Caserio for being Easterby’s pal. Their words/actions seem amateur, inauthentic and not grounded in reality.
Hiring a random selection of nice and diverse candidates of varied ability does not fix the rightful and deep lack of trust in the Houston Texans leadership for being incompetent career wasters who value inauthentic catch phrases, blind positivity, and pals over performance.
I’d like nothing more than Watson to believe in the Texans direction, be all in. But who, other than the most delusional, think the team has a healthy power structure, good football direction?
Most of the words/actions taken since the Caserio hire have been counterproductive.

League sources believe that #Texans QB Deshaun Watson has played his last snap for the #Texans and the #Dolphins are his preferred destination, according to @AdamSchefter and @mortreport
@AdamSchefter @mortreport The #Texans had a 24-0 first half lead over the #Chiefs in the playoffs a year ago [January 12, 2020]
They are now coming off a 4-12 season with no first round or second round draft pick, no Head Coach, and it seems that they soon won't have their young franchise QB.

@AdamSchefter @mortreport Chris Mortensen added that Deshaun Watson likes the culture Brian Flores has created in Miami and also that there are no state taxes there like in Texas.
Nothing is formal, still early in the off-season.

I was just harassed and called a “psycho cunt” for telling a young man at my neighborhood grocery store #HEB in #Texas to wear a mask as required by local ordinance and signage in the store. #COVID19 cases are spiking in #Houston #Texas
2/ It’s my day off. I had to pick up prescriptions. I’ve been traveling, so I wore an N95 mask and goggles to protect myself and others. I told the man I have been on #COVID19 units and that the risk is real. I also said we’re all #Texans
3/ I’m a registered Independent and a Christian. I just traveled to cover an @realDonaldTrump rally in #Tulsa. Regardless of what you think of me, #MSM or #FakeNews, this guy broke the law.
1/ @GovAbbott just announced #Texas will pause reopening as the state responds to the recent increase in #COVID19 cases and hospitalizations.
2/ BUT that doesn't mean biz that reopened will close: @GregAbbott_TX "We are focused on strategies that slow the spread of this virus while also allowing Texans to continue earning a paycheck to support their families. The last thing we want to do as a state is go backwards..."
3/ "... and close down businesses. This temporary pause will help our state corral the spread until we can safely enter the next phase of opening our state for business. I ask all Texans to do their part to slow the spread of COVID-19 by wearing a mask..."
33. CIN - Tee Higgins WR9 ... C
My 44th overall player, I think there are better values & better WRs available.
I also would've gone OT here, unless an AJ Green trade is imminent.
Building around Burrow is a good move, though. #Bengals

34. IND - Michael Pittman Jr. WR12 ... D
I'm lower than many on Pittman - 53rd - I just think there are much better prospects at WR. Multiple are still on the board: Laviska 21st, Mims 36th, Edwards 43rd.
Also, not the route I would've gone here with such a valuable pick.
