I hope he/she does since this sounds like BS. I’m assuming the supposed “Urgent Care” is a profit making institution. Why would they turn away a paying customer-—it doesn’t make sense.

My wife works in one of the city-run clinics here. The city has had its own healthcare plan for low-income residents, both citizen and non. (The city figures it’s cheaper to let noncitizens see doctors when they’re sick or pregnant than to deal with them when they’re even sicker, give birth to babies with birth defects, etc. I’m not sure they’re wrong about that.) Anyway, once Obamacare went into effect, the low-income citizens no longer have access to the program—they’re supposed to go get “real” insurance with the subsidy. That leaves the city-run program with just the illegals.

The clinic could theoretically accept an Obamacare insurance plan, but their negotiations with the various insurance companies fell through. Some of the patients at the clinic might have other private insurance, I’m not sure. But after the changes, most of the clinic’s patients are illegals.

So something like that might be at work at the facility in LA.
