From Goldman Sachs to Bank of America, Texas continues to see financial firms invest in the state. Light regulation and low taxes have made it "no longer New York or nowhere." Many of this year's constitutional amendments will only strengthen this trend. https://t.co/34kzsIJuR1

When some #340B hospitals’ contract pharmacies administer drugs to patients, they charge a large mark-up on the drugs and pocket the difference. @WhiteHouse realizes #340Breform is needed. https://t.co/FnehBJpfNt
