Texas Democrat Gina Hinojosa, speaking on The Interview, says corporations may love Greg Abbott, but Texas has the most uninsured people and children of any state, even though Texans work more hours than the national average. She also says it leads the nation in bankruptcies and in people disconnected from electricity over unpaid bills, and that over 150 school districts run four days a week because they can't afford five. "That is Greg Abbott's record," she says.

Well, Lulu, there's no question that corporations love Greg Abbott and Texas, but the reality is we have the most people without health insurance of any state, despite the fact that Texas worked more hours than the national average. We have the most children without health insurance of any state in America. We have the most people disconnected from their electricity because they cannot afford to pay their bills of any state in America. We have the most bankruptcies of any state in America and it is small businesses that are struggling to keep their doors open. We have over 150 whole school districts operating at four days a week because they can't afford to operate at five days a week. That is Greg Abbott's record.
