State to begin nursing home care for OAA recipients
The Welfare Department will start a state program Jan 1 to provide nursing home care for Old Age Assistance recipients, aiming to standardize care quality and expand access with about 8 million dollars in state and federal funding yearly. The Blue Cross policy for Texas OAA recipients may push broader medical coverage, encouraging other insurers to follow. Governor Daniel’s Texans for Tourists seeks legislative funding to promote the state’s attractions, after a constitutional amendment allowed tourist promotion in 1958.
