## Resource

Texas just got a brutal F grade from CNBC as the second-worst place to live in America, trailing only Tennessee—thanks to dire healthcare access, high crime rates, and low inclusivity. With 17% of residents uninsured and the fewest primary care doctors per capita nationwide, the state’s quality-of-life metrics are alarmingly low. But it’s not all bad: Texas still scores well on childcare and air quality. Politicians are already firing back—Republicans call the report biased media trash, touting Texas as ideal for those who value low taxes and law and order, while Democrats blame GOP policies for hurting working families, slashing school funding, and driving up electricity costs. The debate is heating up: what really defines a great place to live—and who’s to blame? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
