Texas Tops The Nation

Yep, they are tops:

Texas has retained the dubious distinction of having the highest proportion of people without health insurance coverage, according to figures released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.

In a comparison of states using a three-year average for 2002-2004, 25.1 percent of Texans didn’t have health insurance coverage. Minnesota had the lowest proportion, at 8.5 percent.

But is it insurance or something else that these people are without?
