IF
Only legals can now get unpaid medical care in Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston hospitals then the budget may have gotten close to balanced.
Has someone seen and parsed the bill?
Nope, but there are a few diggers in this group...It’ll come out in due time...
If it is supposed to continue the un-checked support, beyond the “stabilizing requirement for medical care” then I suppose that is something they need to squash pretty quick...
You see, I have mixed feelings about that portion of any effort to straighten these things out...
If you are injured, and you require medical attention, the first thing is to stabilize the patient,if it is determined that the patient is in the country illegally, well hells bells, there is a ticket home for you, to a facility to further treat and rehab that patient back in their home country...
With the money we spened not deporting enough, the money we would spend to send the infirm home might start coming under the budget, in some cases...
Just shooting from the hip here, but it seems like you already have a “captive” audience here to take care of the immediate problem...
Don't forget that years ago the USSC ruled that hospitals must treat anyone who show up at their Emergency Room doors seeking treatment regardless of citizenship status.
