Medicaid cuts: Will docs head for exits?

Garrett reports:

Doctors, dentists and hospitals see little hope of escaping trims to their state payments for treating low-income Texans, starting Sept. 1.

But a center-left think tank warned today that the cuts to providers "would represent a tremendous step backward" in the state's recent push to lure more doctors to participate in Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance program for the poor, elderly and disabled.

Snow Day in Austin TX -- good time to start a blog!

Hello, friends and neighbors, Texans, and anyone else interested in goings-on in the Lone Star State. 

I've been aggregating items of statewide interest from the pages of the Dallas Morning News on Facebook and Twitter for awhile, now. A few readers, less than enthusiastic about stepping into various social media streams, have asked me if I'd consider bringing that content together in a non-social media-type place.

Ask and ye shall receive! 

First up: an item of pretty much zero interest to anyone outside of ATX: it's snowing in Our Fair City today! -- I took a short video to help us all remember come summer.
