DALLAS - On Nov. 1, hospitals in Texas will have to start asking patients if they are United States citizens.
The move comes after an August executive order by Governor Greg Abbott.
The data must be reported to the state no later than March 1, 2025, and continue to be reported quarterly.
Abbott says he wants to know how much taxpayer dollars are going to providing care to non-citizens.

I um but…don't non citizens often pay a lot of taxes, too?
Yeah they pay into the system but get no benefits
They do especially in Texas which has no income tax. So even immigrants working under the table pay what they owe to Texas
