Dallas News : reported that Retired Texas teachers are worried about health insurance costs and counting on lawmakers to help

AUSTIN — Waves of panic are spreading among tens of thousands of retired Texas teachers and other former school employees over rising health care costs they'll soon be shouldering. Retired Spanish teacher Deborah Woosley of Waxahachie, who's gone back to work because she has diabetes and can't afford the bills, said she and her husband usually vote and are conservative. "The days of sitting back and relying on people in the Legislature to take care of these issues need to end," said retired Denton County school administrator Clint Mosely. If the Legislature's two GOP-led chambers don't end their warring over how to pay for a bill to offer some relief within the next few days, retired educators could seek vengeance in next March's primaries, some have warned. Some have gone back to work.
