They say everything's bigger in Texas, and they're usually right. They're definitely right about the levels of energy production, at the very least. 30% of the whole country's oil refining happens in Texas. It's the nation's powerhouse.
Considering working with oil can be a dangerous job, you'd expect Texans to be big on healthcare. They're not, though. Only 82.7% of Texans have any form of cover, which is an ethical nightmare for doctors. It's almost 10% lower than the national average rate.
