    Abbott is garbage on wheels and I sure hope he tries to mess with Children’s. It would be some of the worst publicity possible.

      Won’t matter. He’s not gonna get primaried except by someone more extreme, and he’s not going to lose to a Dem, so he’s untouchable.

    “Hey Texas Children’s Hospital & Baylor College of Medicine this doctor is putting your Medicaid & Medicare funding at risk,” Abbott wrote on X, sharing a link to an Express-News article that reports on Pastor’s video.

    No, Abbot. YOU and the Cheeto-elect are putting their funding at risk. You are absolute garbage human beings.

      Texas has been GOP governed for 28 years; this is absolutely what they want.

      Companies headquartered in Texas should be boycotted.

    What a great way to ensure your state has a critical shortage of doctors. Already happening for women health care departments.

    Can’t wait to see how the next four years and beyond work out. I’m sure it’ll be great.

    This is about Medicaid government aid paying for non-citizen care

    If I were receiving medical care in Canada as a non-citizen, would their government health care pay for it, or would I be given a bill?

      Bad example.

      They aren’t asking them for the sake of Medicaid.

      This is any person, even single-payer patients (ones paying for themselves), because a state law tying a facility receiving federal funding to a requirement to ask nationality.

      Please, read the article next time.

      In BC it depends on your status. Asylum seekers can apply after a waiting period. Tourists should get a private insurance plan, or you’ll have to pay for it at whatever the BC Medical rates are, which should be pretty reasonable compared to US rates. Permanent Residents would probably already be covered.

    So happy I got out of that state. I couldn’t stand the idea of my tax dollars funding this fuckhead’s administration.
