Texas hospitals must now ask patients whether they're in the US legally.

abc13.com Texas hospitals must now ask patients whether they're in the US legally. Here's how it works

Critics fear the change could scare people away from hospitals in Texas, even though patients are not required to answer the questions to receive medical care.

So here’s a repugnant move by right-wing assholes. Taxans: you can counter that shit. If a hospital asks you whether you are in the country legally, instead of saying “yes” the right answer is “I decline to answer”. Don’t give the dicks their stats.

This will get people killed, just like the reactionary psychos want.
I fuckin' hate our State government.
- Please be a hero and vote against Abbott, Paxton, Cruz, and every other Republican in the state.

It sounds like its so restricting and oppressive living in Texas. All this shit is the opposite of freedom.
- But only for women and brown folk, not actual people.
  
  Not true, if you're a human who can feel empathy its probably depressing. Imagine if you.care about your SO, and she gets pregnant and sick, and you both live in Texas, and you're a white man. Now its still effecting you and we've accomplished nothing but misery. Which, the misery is the point.

Thats why Texas doctors only recite the hypocritical oath.

Sure beats actually giving a fuck about people, I guess...

So if Musk ever goes to Texas and gets treated in a hospital there he is going to be deported? Because he is illigal in the us

Makes sense. You don't want to give illegal immigrants any incentive to come here.
- Yeah, they come here for our healthcare.
  Fascists are the dumbest people on earth.
- In fact, borderline human rights compromise is actually a good incentive for people to leave. Would perhaps be good for the country if those in Texas who respect human rights would move from Texas to Pennsylvania for a human rights upgrade (where also the death penalty was repealed).
  But I doubt your statement is accurate considering inbound refugees are fleeing from even worse conditions w.r.t. human rights. Refugees still technically have their human right to access emergency medical treatment, they just risk getting harassed and tagged for deportation.
  
  Yeah, maybe we can send a few dozen to Martha's Vineyard again, or start another emergency in New York! It was funny how few it took the last time. It's not like lefties understand how bad illegals are until they actually have to deal with the consequences
- Surely the incentives for legal and illegal immigrants, and natural born citizens, are the same?
