Galveston County Daily News, June 4, 2007 GALVESTON - The University of Texas Medical Branch will likely receive more than $1.1 billion in state and federal funds over the next two years, but it's still not enough to cover the medical branch's increasing indigent care expenses, lawmakers representing Galveston County say. State Rep. Craig Eiland and State Sen. Kyle Janek voted against the state's $153 billion budget for fiscal 2008 and 2009 after unsuccessfully lobbying for increases for indigent-care funding. The medical branch has seen a dip in state funding since 2002. That's a trend Eiland and Janek tried to reverse.
