Texas hospitals prepare to gather data on treating non-citizens
On Nov. 1, hospitals in Texas will have to start asking patients if they are United States citizens after an executive order from Gov. Greg Abbott.
DALLAS - On Nov. 1, hospitals in Texas will have to start asking patients if they are United States citizens.
The move comes after an August executive order by Governor Greg Abbott.
The data must be reported to the state no later than March 1, 2025, and continue to be reported quarterly.
Abbott says he wants to know how much taxpayer dollars are going to providing care to non-citizens.
It's just like the Bible says , "Blessed are you who are poor, but not too poor to pay the bill, for yours is the healthcare, those other freeloaders can just die".
Adding: Let's also not forget the parable of the Good Samaritan, which is about a man who finds an injured foreigner on the road, and deports his ass.
I um but…don't non citizens often pay a lot of taxes, too?
Yeah they pay into the system but get no benefits
They do especially in Texas which has no income tax. So even immigrants working under the table pay what they owe to Texas
The law says we don't allow non citizens bleed out on the curb rather than treat them, just like the rest of civilized world. I guess in Texas that is still a question.
Fuck POS crippled ass Abbott. Who he claims god saved him...but didn't and couldn't save home B4 the tree fell on him...stupid as f...fuck TX and the Republicunts running as well as their POS AG the fucking IQ 2 im imbecile who wants tx to be a theocracy...i gave up my license in chat state to practice along time ago and never plan on returning...religion poisons everything
Can we leave the ableism out of it? He's got plenty of bad qualities and being in a wheelchair isn't one of them.
Nothing says you have to answer truthfully, I think everyone should say no when asked to fuck with their data
