To everyone in Texas, the state provides a medical insurance policy ONLY FOR THOSE WITH AN INSURABLE DISEASE. The monthly payment is subsidized by the state and my RX card is $25 mo for brand meds and $10 mo generic. I am very blessed to have this coverage. It is insured through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. Tell your friends with other health problems as well. Good luck!
