In the ‘right-wing’-conservative-Christian-oil-rich state of Texas the United States Army has been deployed on an economic mission in an area known as Colonias.
It’s a joint operation with Texas A&M University known as Colonias Innovative Readiness Training. Not only are infrastructure problems being dealt with, but, and despite the advent of ObamaCare (ACA), free medical clinics are held for Texas who still don’t have ObamaCare mandated health insurance!
U.S. Army-Texas A&M free dental service in Web County, Texas.
Free taxpayer funded eye exams in Web County, Texas.
But this isn’t the first time the U.S. Army has been called in to help supposedly fiercely independent Texans. In 2016, a free clinic in Rio Grande Valley was swamped by people who are not benefiting from ObamaCare.
