I am glad to partner with the South Texas Regional Medical Center, Atascosa Health Center, the Alamo Area Council of Governments, Young Invincibles, and Enroll America to host this health insurance marketplace community workshop. I encourage all residents of Atascosa County to attend and educate themselves about the resources available to purchase affordable health insurance.” The free event will be held at the South Texas Medical Plaza Community Room on the STRMC campus, 1907 Hwy. 97 E., Jourdanton, TX on Thursday, November 14 from 6-9 p.m. Congressman Henry Cuellar is a member of the U.S. House Appropriations Committee, Vice Chairman of the House Steering and Policy Committee, Senior Whip, and member of the Blue Dog Coalition.
