McALLEN — Alix Flores, 62, has jumped from different careers over the years, working with nonprofits, in corporate America, as a teacher at a Brownsville school and with the regional office of the Texas Department of State Health Services.
He wanted to make sure he was always employed so he would be covered by employer-provided health insurance.
“I always made sure that if I quit a job, I better have another one waiting already so I can continue being insured,” Flores said.
