SIMPLE to solve. Pass a law in Texas that allows (or perhaps even requires) hospitals to TURN AWAY THE DEADBEATS. Hospitals that decide to treat the deadbeats should have to PROVE that the costs are not being passed along to paying customers. Problem is that EMTALA is a federal law; some liberal group that wants to see illegals continue to get free care will merely sue in federal court and have a law like this stayed in a matter of days if not weeks.

NILLIFY it at the state level. If the feds try to enforce it... well, that's what we have the Oath Keepers for!
