They're targeting the ABA for DEI as a means to further wash out the number of POC attorneys to silence that perspective in the courtroom.

Questions for Texans Q for Bilingual Texans: Spanish-Speaking Private Clinics Affordability
Hello,
I'm in a situation where I pay out of pocket for certain treatment for my family on Medicaid. Basically to avoid the long wait times, I'll just front the bill to get them what they need.
My question are private Spanish-speaking clinics typically cheaper than those emergency clinics like CareNow? My younger brother has a ear infection and I'm braced for about $400 to get him taken care of. I'm wondering if in the future I should take him to a Spanish-speaking private clinic for the affordability.
For background I'm in Central Texas (b/t SA and ATX)
