Federal Health Care Law saves 4,000 Texans

PolitiFact Texas published an article on June 29, 2012 that highlights the impact that the federal health care law has on the people of Texas. 
The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care act provides insurance plans to individuals who have not been insured for a long period of time due to a pre-existing condition, such as "diabetes, cancer, and HIV/AIDS" (PolitiFact).  Now, it is celebrated that the health care law has been able to assist/save more than 4,000 Texans who would've been struck by pre-existing conditions that would've prevented "them from obtaining insurance" (PolitiFact).  It is also questioned that some patients who have been newly enrolled in the plans may have even worsened conditions.  However, the big picture is that individuals who have not received insurance before and are now receiving it are guaranteed better treatment for healthier lives. 
This article is of great significance, because health care is indeed one of the top concerning issues in Texas politics besides economy.  Understanding the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care act and its impacts will be able to point out more details that should be fixed to help build stronger public health for Texas.   Furthermore, sharing the news of the new health care law will be able to save the lives of other Texans who may have not heard of the law's provisions.
