Introduction

Healthcare services in Texas, California and other western states differ a lot. This article discusses the services provided by private and public sector, how they compare and how you can choose the best option for your family.

Healthcare Services In Texas

Texas is a state in the southern region of the United States. It is bordered by New Mexico to the north; Oklahoma to the east; Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri to its west; and Mexico to its south. Texas has an area of 268,000 square miles (696,500 km2), making it the second largest state (behind Alaska) and largest by size among U.S. states[3]. Houston is its largest city with over 6 million people living there alone.[4]

Texas has 254 counties which are organized into 19 metropolitan areas: Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex; Austin Metroplex; San Antonio–New Braunfels ITX Region (partially); El Paso-Las Cruces MSA Region/West Texas Oil Field Economic Development District (partially); Greater Houston MSA/Ft Worth DMA Region/Austin MSA Regional Council (partially).

Healthcare Services in California

California is a large state with a large population and economy, making it an ideal testing ground for implementing healthcare reform. The state has more than 20 million residents, which means there are many people who could benefit from improved access to healthcare options. With such a high number of people living in California, it’s important that we consider how the state can make sure all those people have access to quality care.

California State Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones recently released his annual report on health insurance costs in California—and he found that premiums had increased faster than inflation over the past year. This news isn’t good for anyone who pays for their health insurance through work or through Medicare/Medicaid coverage; but it does mean that you may want to look into other ways of paying for your medical expenses so as not lose money each month due to rising premiums!
