Since March 1, local independent pharmacies have closed due to the new managed care system in Texas. Instead of direct business with Texas Medicaid and Medicare, there are "middle men" handling the reimbursements for doctor visits, medication and other medical services. Low-income families are being affected by these changes, however independent pharmacies are also being affected business-wise. Students aspiring to be pharmacists now may need a new perspective with their passion. This video is gives a quick overlook of the changes that have been happening.

Find full version of these stories at www.texastribune.org. Elected in 2010, as a Democrat, it took state Rep. JM Lozano 15 months to switch to the Republican Party. But has the GOP already left him? Despite praise from state leaders for sticking to his principles, Lozano is facing a formidable foe in his primary re-election bid. Is the party over for this freshman? Tom Leppert became the mayor of Dallas in 2007. At the time, he insisted he was focused on fixing the city's problems and not on higher office.

While Leppert has accomplishments to tout from his time at City Hall, he also faces critics who say he never gave the job the attention it deserved.
