Improving Health Care
Sergio wants health care options that are more affordable and accessible; for individuals, families and the elderly. They took care of us, now it's our turn to take care of them.

Sergio will work with the legislature to tap into two existing state programs -- the Texas Enterprise Fund and the Texas Emerging Technology Fund -- to help pay for the construction of a Veterans Affairs Hospital in the Valley.

Sergio will assist South Texans by making it easier for thousands of Valley families and individuals to protect their families by expanding the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and improving access to Medicaid.

Sergio supports for the planned University of Texas Health Science Center -- South Texas, which will include a medical school for the region.
