I never said Texas has universal health care. I said that certain counties in the state have universal health care.

That's still incorrect. UHC isn't just subsidized, it's free at point of sale. There are no counties in the US that offer this. There are no organizations in the US that offer this.

With Harris Health, if you qualify for free healthcare, you get a "gold card" that gives you free healthcare. You have to qualify based on your household income and household size. Others are provided services based on a sliding scale based on their income.

And there is no such thing is free healthcare. You either pay for it in advance via taxes or insurance premiums, or you pay at the time of service. It is not free, and will never be free.

Systems can be made to be more efficient and more affordable, but they will never be free since it takes resources and labor to run a healthcare system.

I take that back. There is on form of free healthcare for the patient, and that is provided by charities and religious organizations who accept donations. Then, and only then, does the patient not pay. Because if it is run by the government, the patient pays direct or indirect taxes to pay for the healthcare.
