Texas is one of strongest opponents of the Affordable Care Act, but within the state are pockets of resistance. The most interesting of those are local governments, which are doing everything from funding office space for enrollment specialists to posting information on how to sign up on water bills. I visited Houston and El Paso to see this activity first hand. I spoke with many of the government officials who were trying to implement the legislation amid opposition from Gov. Rick Perry and other Republican leaders in Texas. The story was funded in part by the California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowship, which is part of the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School.
