More than 40 health and community groups launched a campaign Wednesday to raise awareness of the coverage gap created when Texas officials declined to expand Medicaid as part of the Affordable Care Act.
Advocating that poor Texans should have greater access to affordable health care, the group is gathering stories of people in Texas who fall into the so-called coverage gap.
The coverage gap is made up of the portion of the population that earns too much to qualify for Medicaid and too little to qualify for federal subsidies to buy health insurance at healthcare.gov, the federally operated website where consumers are supposed be able to buy and compare health plans.
