Voters were told that the money would go to a new medical school at the University of Texas, where the poor would be treated.
spoke with attorney and activist Fred Lewis, who with Austin filmmaker Steve Mims and Brian Rodgers, co-produced the 30-minute film that raises tough questions about whether liberals in the state capital broke laws and sold out the poor in a quest for economic development.
The bottom line is there’s nothing wrong with Central Health paying a reasonable amount of money for medical care for poor people provided by medical school. That happens in hospital districts across the state. What’s not legal is for Central Health … to provide money to the University of Texas Dell Medical School for things that have absolutely nothing to do with health care.
That’s when I sent another open records request, asking for whose salary at the medical school was being paid for by Central Health with poor people’s dollars, and I got back the development department, the communications department and essentially anybody and everybody that you wanted to fund that didn’t have anything to do with healthcare for the poor.
