Today I testified in support of Dustin Burrows HB 2090 for Texas 2036. Great bill that will increase access to and affordability of health care by making out of pocket prices more transparent to consumers with insurance.

“The goal of establishing an all payor claims database for Texas is to facilitate state efforts in controlling the rising costs of health care by helping increase competition and transparency in our health markets.” –Armando Walle during House Insurance Committee hearing #TXlege

A ”Texas CDC” approved by the #txlege would be based at UTHealth to galvanize and coordinate public health services in the event of a future pandemic. The Texas Epidemic Public Health Institute could serve as a model for other states. #UTinServicetoTexas houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas…

The covid pandemic showed us one thing very clearly – we can't rely on outside “experts” for guidance and understanding on the science of our policy decisions. The Texas Epidemic Public Health Institute will better prepare Texas for future pandemics. brandoncreighton.com/2021/08/18/tex…
