health insurance in Texas(houston area)?

Hi we are moving to the Houston area and we plan to buy a business however, we will not be getting health insurance so we need some help. Does Texas offer gov. assistance programs? we have 2 small girls that need coverage and I have diabetes and need insulin supplies. i could only have time for a part time job so would there be any entry level jobs that would offer me insurance? help, help cuz I hear Houston is the capitol of excellent medical practice. any info would help!!

1. You can get insurance for the children through the Texas Children's Insurance Program (CHIP) http://www.hhsc.state.tx.us/help/index.html Most employers do not offer insurance for part-time workers. If you do work full-time you would most likely have to wait 6 months before you qualify for insurance.
