I tried searching it and couldn't find a single thing except for some articles talking about 1332 waivers from the Affordable Care Act, which is very much centralized.

Yes, unfortunately it does not get a lot of publicity. Most people outside of Texas don't even know something like this exists.

Here is the one for Harris County, Texas. #^https://www.harrishealth.org/about-us/harris-health

Other major counties in Texas have this as well.

They're funded by Federal, State, and Local government as well as philanthropic donations.

Primary and specialty care access must be increased; although Harris Health provides 25% of the primary care for indigent individuals, another 27% do not receive care. The gap must be closed and not allowed to continue to increase.

So basically a centralized healthcare solution which turns away more poor or uninsured than they help. A commendable service, but not even close to the effectiveness and mercy of universal healthcare.

Of course, this just highlights the problem with centralized care. If local universal care run by the government turns away people because it is underfunded, what do you think a nationwide government run healthcare system will do when it is underfunded? The same thing! They will deny care just like the insurance companies do. And you won't have any choice in the matter since they are the only provider and/or they control the money spent on your healthcare.
