Throughout Dallas, a network of free and low-cost clinics has always done the job of providing health care in the nation’s least insured state. In the midst of a global pandemic, over 600,000 more Texans lost health insurance, most tied to jobs erased by the worst economy in decades. Now, these community clinics are working overtime, serving newly uninsured populations and caring for COVID-19 patients, all while battling the same financial hardships of the rest of the country.
