Good, another DeSantis success. Now, if those who are illegal could be turned over and deported after getting medical treatment, that’d be sweet. A step at a time we are getting there. DeSantis has disallowed illegal alien drivers licenses, new requires eVerify, etc. All through legislation not EO dictates. Lasting successes.

Tell them that you are an illegal alien. You’ll get your treatments for free.

So, is the herald promoting law breaking?

[PrairieLady2]

My local hospitals have been asking that question for years. It goes like this: Are you a US citizen?
A yes answer..you are here legally. Beyond that...I dunno.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Don’t forget to change the family’s sh*tty diapers before presenting at the emergency room. American Doctors and Nurses are NOT the Border Patrol.

[PrairieLady2]

As far as I am aware, even if you aren’t here legally, you have a right to life saving medìcal care as stated on the patients rights board on the wall.
What’s the point of pushing the issue if they can get foodstamps, medicaid, driver’s license, voter registration, housing and icè won’t send them home?

I can see .not giving away services reserved for citizens, but what might those be? So much is states controlling federal programs...

In English would be a start.

[I want the USA back]

If I go to any European country, and have not been paying into their nationalized healthcare system, I will be asked to guarantee payment or to pay first before I’m treated, or I’m out on the street.

A totally fair system.

The politicians in the USA are working hard to bankrupt the system and us by giving away free something that you and I worked hard for.

[JoSixChip]

Florida hospitals that accept Medicaid will be required to query patients about that, although a person can decline to answer.

I guess you missed that part. Nothing but kabuki theater.

[dforest]

Well fine, but they don’t have to answer that. If they don’t answer that is there a punishment? If there is, this will end up in a court.

[neverevergiveup]

If you're an American in almost any other nation, and you get sick, you will either have horrible care, or you will pay through the nose for care. I'm not talking about people going to foreign countries electively to get surgeries, etc. I'm talking about unexpectedly getting sick in another country. If your insurance doesn't cover you you are screwed.
