Texas view: officials ignore ACA gains as uninsured drop

It cites Rice University and Episcopal Health Foundation findings showing Texas uninsured fell from 24.6% to 16.9%, with 1.2 million Texans signed up. It notes 1.5 million more could gain coverage if Medicaid expansion occurred, and criticizes politicians for not accepting federal funds.
