Why is healthcare for immigrants an issue?More than $1 billion spent on noncitizen hospital costs in fiscal 2025
(The Center Square) – Taxpayer-funded medical costs for noncitizens at Texas hospitals totaled more than $1 billion last year, according to newly released state data.www.thecentersquare.com
Note from the article that some non-citizen costs do get billed to Medicaid.
This article and the Governor's claims are completely misleading at best or deliberately deceptive at worse. Truth be told? Up to half of the hospitals operating in Texas are non- profit. This status comes with requirements. These hospitals are required to offer " charity care" in order to keep their non- profit status.More than $1 billion spent on noncitizen hospital costs in fiscal 2025

Even more egregious, on the part of the governor, is this mandate passed by their very own legislature! Please, please...the hypocrisy has to stop..More than $1 billion spent on noncitizen hospital costs in fiscal 2025

And one more thing! Lets not forget the contributions undocumented immigrants make through paid taxes! Just this alone would cover the measly 1 billion dollars the governor is complaining about.More than $1 billion spent on noncitizen hospital costs in fiscal 2025

Legal law-abiding immigrants are great, we want the serial rapists and murderers deported. Realize that about 70% of those ICE has arrested are criminals. Besides entering our country illegally, many are wanted for crimes in their own country, have been convicted in the U.S., or there is a pending warrant out for their arrest. There is a lot of big money trying to keep them in our country, and a lot of people willing to commit violence to keep them here.
Could it be anything else? (Debunked in 3 posts.)
Why won't the political party that brought them in pay their healthcare? If they are going to allow serial rapists and murderers into our country and inflict them on the population the least they can do is foot the bill. But as to the article, no one should be afraid to examine how much various programs cost the taxpayer.
No one "brings in" immigrants (except H1-B employers). They come on their own.
Realize that the 70% figure is a lie from the DHS. Please do a little research. Even by their own documented metrics, it is the opposite of what you have claimed.
We’re all in this Nation together, that’s “why”.
