Texas has some of the best doctors in the world and an innovative healthcare community: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Medical_Center

> The Texas Medical Center is the largest medical center in the world with one of the highest densities of clinical facilities for patient care, basic science, and translational research. Located in Greater Houston, the center contains 54 medicine-related institutions, including 21 hospitals and eight specialty institutions, eight academic and research institutions, three medical schools, six nursing schools, and schools of dentistry, public health, pharmacy, and other health-related practices. All 54 institutions are not-for-profit. The center exceeds one thousand acres (or 1.562 square mile) in size. [...] The Center is where one of the first and largest air ambulance services was created and where one of the first successful inter-institutional transplant programs was developed. More heart surgeries are performed in Texas Medical Center than anywhere else in the world.

(Ironically, the TMC came about through a tax dodge)



>> any studies that show that Texas doctors are significantly worse than doctors in other states?

> Texas has some of the best doctors in the world and an innovative healthcare community

This doesn't answer the question.


I have to note the stereotypically Texan emphasis on sheer size in the above narrative.
