A Model for Success
What to Know: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is praising Texas State Technical College for its tuition model. “It is the perfect platform for education,” he said. “As I understand it, they do not get paid until their student gets a job.”
The TPPF Take: It’s all about the incentives.
“We believe that better aligning career and technical education with regional workforce demand will strengthen communities and local economies,” says TPPF’s Erin Valdez. “To accomplish this end, we believe that the incentives of institutions providing this kind of education must be aligned with labor market demand.”

Obamacare Still Hurts Patients
What to Know: Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) premiums are set to spike even higher, as pandemic assistance expires at the end of the year.
The TPPF Take: Obamacare is based on the principle that many Americans want—and will pay for—its services. Even higher prices will drive away more and more potential customers.
“The Affordable Care Act is here to stay, which means going forward, it is important to promulgate policies that are proportionate to the number of people it can practically impact,” says TPPF’s Ilanit Turner. “HHS can start by revising its ACA Marketplace budget and abandon the pipe dream that 25 million Americans will suddenly want government-sponsored health insurance.”
