Texas Governor Greg Abbott has threatened a children’s hospital with “consequences” after a doctor posted a viral TikTok telling patients they’re not legally obligated to tell a hospital their citizenship status.
Greg Abbott is a little piss baby.
Hey, @[email protected]! Are we talking about that little puts baby, Greg Abbott? I heard that he’s a little piss baby!
This has to be the depths of depravity, to smugly threaten critical funding for a children’s hospital because some individual doctors (correctly) point out that the state’s immigration question is non binding.
He’d rather hurt everyone’s kids if it means he can’t hurt the brown kids more. Maybe that tree should have fallen a little closer to his head and we’d all be spared this reality
Maybe?
Correction, everyone’s kids who utilize government insurance are
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.
Think of the children!
Not enough of them are dying!
Just like Jesus would have done when it comes to helping children.
Fucking shitty Republican Christians.
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.
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.
Freedom of Speech is only for speech the government likes.
On brand.
Cancel culture
Someone should put this fucker on a steep hill with a cliff at the bottom
That sounds survivable, though, I imagine the hospital bills won’t be.
We pay those for him
Something something That Commie Healthcare something
(/s)
Maybe you should take it away- you know, since he’s so intent on taking not-free healthcare from citizens,
The tree should have finished the job
So happy I got out of that state. I couldn’t stand the idea of my tax dollars funding this fuckhead’s administration.
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.
