In Lubbock, families are feeling the impact of skyrocketing health care costs like never before. With expenses on the rise, households are finding it increasingly challenging to balance their budgets while ensuring they receive necessary medical care. The struggle is real, as many residents face tough decisions about their health versus their wallets.

When health care becomes an added stressor instead of a safety net, it’s time to rethink our approach.
In this climate, Lubbock residents are left pondering: how long can this last before something has to give? Whether it means cutting back on regular check-ups or seeking alternative treatments, families are getting creative in how they manage their health. And while no one wants to play the “who-can-afford-it” game, it looks like many of us might have to start playing for keeps. What will it take to put health care back in reach?
