At different points in history, Texas had six separate flags flying overhead: From the flag of the Confederacy to that of Spain, France, Mexico and even one that flew over Texas when it wasn't a state but a country. But it was the flag of the United States that was finally raised over Texas in 1845, and it that flag that still remains.
Now, Texas is in a health care transition. Historically, Texas has led the United States in health insurance statistics, but not in a good way. With nearly twenty-five percent of the population without insurance, Texas is only now beginning to improve these numbers by making it easier for residents to qualify for government assistance. Slowly, health insurance carriers in Texas are offering better quality and more affordable health insurance to members throughout the state.
