Texas and Health Care : About the state's 26.3% uninsured rate.

The Wall Street Journal reports:

A large part of the Texas insurance problem is a byproduct of its economic choices. Only about 50% of Texans have coverage through their jobs, compared to the national rate of 59%, because the state is home to so many new and small businesses that often don't sponsor coverage. It is also home to many young people and immigrants (both legal and illegal), who are the least likely demographic groups to have coverage.
