The valley made headlines after an article in the New Yorker magazine spotlighted this area as having the highest health care costs in the United States. Congressman Henry Cuellar shed some light on the much-debated health care reform issue. He hopes to accomplish several goals with the reform after dissecting and revising the current bill. Several key issues stand out. Including, how to stop the rising cost of insurance and discrimination against those with pre-existing illnesses. Insurance premiums have risen and the number of Texans with no coverage continues to rise as well. The vote on the health care reform bill has been put on hold until the second week in September. Officials hope to have enough time to revisit and revise the pending bill to get it passed.
