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.

    It’s just like the Bible says , “Blessed are you who are poor, but not too poor to pay the bill, for yours is the healthcare, those other freeloaders can just die”.

    Adding: Let’s also not forget the parable of the Good Samaritan, which is about a man who finds an injured foreigner on the road, and deports his ass.
