I'm school teacher," Bucher explained.Not too long ago, Bucher became extremely ill. "I was very very sick," Bucher said. "I was ashamed. I was ashamed... Because I didn't have insurance. I would push everything under the rug.""I was in the hospital and I was very concerned because I couldn't, there was no way I could pay the hospital bill," Bucher said."It has been everything," Bucher said. "Ever since I got sick, it just has seemed like one thing after another. I broke a wrist. I broke a hand. I have fallen several times.
Bell County judge David Blackburn is proud of the health care program's recent success in collaboration with local community clinics. "The county is required by law to provide health care services to those who can't afford those services," Blackburn said. "...We've improved the healthcare delivery to those who need those health care services. So it's not only been more effective, it's also more efficient.""If it wasn't for the Bell County Indigent health services, I wouldn't be here," Bucher said.
