Illegal aliens cost Texas hospitals more than $100 million in just a single month, brand new data from the Lone Star State shows.
Texas hospitals are on the hook for a $121.8 million bill incurred by illegal aliens across 31,000 visits in November 2024 alone, according to data collected by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (THHSC).
The findings came after Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed an order directing THHSC to collect and provide quarterly data on the cost of illegal aliens to the state’s hospitals and the number of visits from illegal aliens. The first full year of data from THHSCC will be released in January 2026.
“Many of these illegal immigrants are straining the Texas hospital system, which is why Governor Abbott directed the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to begin assessing the cost of care,” Abbott Press Secretary Andrew Mahaleris explained.
“Now, Texas has reliable data on the dramatic financial impact that illegal immigration is having on our hospital system,” Mahaleris noted, also adding that President Donald Trump’s deportation operations “may also cause these healthcare costs to decline.”

This is why I want a $5,000/year head tax on each illegal, while they wait to be deported.
“Does the hospital write off $50,000 on their income taxes for the UNINSURED person?
OR
Does the hospital write off $5,000 on their income taxes for the UNINSURED person?”
I think we all know the answer to that.
Credit cards work the same way.
for example Debtor had a visa card with 12.9% interest and $1000 balance
Debtor goes delinquent and the penalty apr increases to 34.9% and credit line is frozen
Debtor tries to make small payments when they can until the $2500 balance is charged off and that balance is written off as a tax loss
Stabilize and return to country of origin.
Legitimate refugees send to a country bordering country of origin.
3 hospitals in the area shut down their ERs.
no mystery why getting in to see a doctor is becoming extremely difficult and why ERs are overcrowded ... this shite needs to stop!
Very interesting notion. Thank you.
Who pays for these unpaid bills?
Stabilize and take an eyeball, lung, kidney, and half a liver, then send back.
They leave with the medical bill already paid, that way.
Mighty expensive visits!!
$3,929.03
Is this actual cost, or just what the hospitals are billing that they know won’t be paid? In that case, they’re only out maybe $10MM!
