The poll should have a "great" option.

Having the UT med school in Houston AND in Austin - are they really expecting that many med students in the future?

It's a great idea. Everyone wants to move to Austin and the selection of doctors and care here absolutely sucks. You might get more research and studies going too, all helpful to patients.

I would think this is a good thing, right? No teaching hospital is found on a long list of "largest cities in the nation without" that Austin is on the top of time and time again.

We need that many more. There was already a shortage and now millions will have insurance that previously did not.

What Texas really needs is more residencies though as doctors tend to practice close to where their residencies are rather than where they went to medical school.

Great deal. Heck of a lot better than the BS Central Health District.

If it means we'll have a hospital in Austin that isn't run by the Catholic church, then it's a *very* good thing.
