I was talking about 3rd party vendors who do arbitrations en masse for a %, not the arbitration fee schedule itself. They need a haircut, big time.
Cap the fees for arbitration. Make it a flat fee instead of a percentage.
I dug into the finances of the three nonprofit arbitrators resolving No Surprises Act disputes. For every dollar they made in '25, ~half was pure profit.
Read more about these 'mini-gods' and how they're getting rich off their new jobs.

I am reminded of why I filed HB 3061 enhancing criminal penalties for crimes committed while wearing a mask. facebook.com/share/v/19my4mp…
Should I file it again?
Vichy France returns, this time under Muslim occupation. I wonder what Charles Martel would have to say about this.
Not deepfake. This is real. Six Gender Jimmy is great with cutting a kid’s body parts off as long as parents and doctors agree. If he lies about this, what else is he lying about?

David didn't have "hope". He had God.
Incredible watching this dork wear Christianity like a skin suit and people buy it.
U.S. Sen. candidate @jamestalarico (D-TX) compares the Texas U.S. Senate race to David vs. Goliath: "David may not have been as big or as strong as Goliath... but he had hope and he had a slingshot... the people of Texas are my slingshot."

“Cypress-Fairbanks ISD is asking taxpayers on November 31 to lock in an 18 percent increase in the M&O property tax rate, as well as authorize $1.636 billion in new debt across four bonds, expected to carry roughly $1.6 billion more in interest.”

44% of Texas nonprofit hospitals say they will bill patients before screening them for charity care, and only Houston's Memorial Hermann has a written policy to screen first. Tax-exempt status should come with screen first, bill second. Texas lawmakers should make it the rule.

And therein lies the absolute disingenuous nature of talking “Medicare for all”. We will never have M4A because the costs would be astronomical. But we could have what Canada and the UK have. Which folks don’t want.
Two-thirds of Americans support Medicare for All, according to a new KFF poll. But mention the possibility of longer waits for medical care, and support plummets to just 24%.
Who would be enthusiastic about waiting in line for healthcare?

James talarico looked a war veteran in the eye and straight up lied to him.
talarico knows exactly what the Save America Act is. He attacked it 2 months ago. #TXsen

“Public schools are underfunded.” - every Texas Democrat.
Humira prescriptions are on the rise vs. biosimilars at 340B pharmacies as well. Just another way the system fails us.
Humira already faces competition from multiple lower-cost biosimilars. Yet PBMs have often favored the more expensive brand-name drug over cheaper alternatives.
The problem isn't patents. It's the middlemen who keep affordable alternatives out of patients' hands.

Reducing homeowners insurance costs is one of my top priorities for the 90th #txlege Session.
I recently visited the @IBHS_ORG Research Center in South Carolina. Home fortification can help protect homes against severe weather and reduce costly damage.
Stronger homes mean less storm damage and fewer insurance claims. That's how we bring premiums down for Texas families. #HD130

I sat down with the @TPPF to talk about what is really driving up the price of health care in Texas: uncompensated care, federal mandates and the gaps taxpayers end up paying for.
This is one of my top priorities going into the 90th #txlege. #HD130

It's well known that I supported @JohnCornyn in the primary. I will vote for @KenPaxtonTX in the 2026 general election and encourage others to do likewise. #txsen

Well it’s a good thing this isn’t a video from the Texas House floor of James Talarico advocating for gender transition surgeries for minors, then….
