He's right. This is the kicker the politicians created that has brought AZ's medical system to the verge of bankruptcy and its being repeated all over the country:
Under federal law, hospitals cannot ask about a patient's income or immigration status, and they cannot turn away anyone seeking medical help.

Up until about three years ago, California was the final destination of 50% of all immigrants to the US, including illegals. Our hospitals have been facing this assult for decades. The deteriating healthcare provisions in California are as a direct result of illegal immigration.
Hospital stays have been slashed. Services have been cut to the bone. Paying US citizens have lost their quality of healthcare.
