🗳️ Early voting starts in just one week. So, what should Texas voters know before heading to the polls this midterm?

Voter turnout has historically been lower in midterm elections than in presidential elections, meaning fewer voters are shaping decisions that affect their communities.

ICYMI: Earlier this week, THA and University Medical Center of El Paso hosted a delegation visit for El Paso-area elected officials and their staff, including Sen. César Blanco and Reps. Joe Moody and Vince Perez, to tour the facility and learn how UMC and El Paso Children's Hospital serve the community.

In addition to the tour, attendees sat in on a Hospital Finance 101 explainer that broke down Medicaid and Medicare funding, how hospitals are paid and what that looks like in practice, and discussed healthcare issues affecting the El Paso community and region ahead of the upcoming 90th Legislative Session.

Thank you to UMC El Paso for hosting, and to the elected officials and staff who joined us.

👻 A spooky coincidence: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Office and THA’s Behind the Headlines were on the same wavelength Monday.

The same day Behind the Headlines took a closer look at insurer responsibilities and the real-world consequences of unnecessarily complicated rules in “Whose Tab Is It Anyway?,” the Attorney General’s Office announced an investigation into an insurance company over alleged denials and delays of urgent and medically necessary care.

From the impact of prior authorization to how medical debt accumulates – and why mandates exist to keep insurance companies in check – the latest issue of Behind the Headlines digs into the financial responsibilities of patients, providers and plans.
