    1. Ha! What a hypocritical state Texas is. “For the children!” *proceeds to not give a fuck about children*

    2. Texas is 12% from the source, data is 2023 at least for Texas

      Looked it up because I was curious and the chart didn’t say

      This is funny, a map where California and Texas are (almost) outliers on *opposite* ends of the scale. Usually when Texas is an outlier and California isn’t, all the other southern states join Texas.

    4. I am a Canadian who works for a US company (but I work remotely from Canada). I know very well that certain states (like Texas and Florida) chose not to expand Medicaid. But my understanding is that unless a child is undocumented, there is no reason why they would be uninsured (Children’s Health Insurance Plan, basically Medicaid for children, have much higher income limits than even expanded Medicaid for adults. Even if a child has undocumented parents, if they are born in the US, they are citizens and eligible for Medicaid based on their parents’ income). Is it true that almost 10% of children currently living in Texas are undocumented (born outside the US and brought into the country as undocumented children)?
