County hospitals in texas are paying for care of illegal that is not allowed by law. The law states they can only pay for non-emergency care if its done with money from the fed's only. Not with local money. Parkland hospital in Dallas doesnt ask ones legal status and gives free care to illegals. Here is a letter from a senator in Texas who says its illegal. Anyone a lawyer? I want to sue!
Dear
Thank you for contacting me regarding recent federal legislation and its impact on local entities administering non-emergency health care to illegal immigrants.
The federal Deficit Reduction Act, passed earlier this year by Congress, requires states to verify the citizenship of applicants for Medicaid benefits. Prior to the Act, illegal immigrants were not eligible for Medicaid benefits. Illegal immigrants remain ineligible for Medicaid benefits under the new provisions; however, the number of illegal immigrants unlawfully receiving benefits could now conceivably decrease because of the more stringent verification requirements.
The federal Personal Responsibility Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 provides that illegal immigrants are ineligible for state and local public benefits unless a state enacts a law affirmatively providing that they are eligible for certain benefits. In Texas, local hospitals are permitted, but not required, to provide non-emergency public health services to illegal immigrants who are otherwise ineligible under federal law. However, the local entity may only use local funds for this purpose and is prohibited from using state or federal funds. The federal Deficit Reduction Act does not impact a local entity's right to provide non-emergency benefits to illegal immigrants since no state or federal funds may be utilized and the hospitals are not receiving Medicaid reimbursements.
I would encourage you to share your concerns regarding local hospitals' decisions to offer non-emergency health services with those that have chosen to do so, and will also remain mindful of your inquiry as I continue to closely monitor this issue. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me again regarding any matter of importance to you.
Very truly yours,
Senator Jane Nelson

My husband is a lawyer, but is licensed in California, Utah, Missouri and Kansas....if you need advice on the process, the wording...or whatever....he can give you direction....Many people can conduct a lawsuit themselves if they keep all the paperwork going in the right order.
Contact the Minutemen organization in your state. My husband works for the Utah Minutemen pro bono....usually there is someone in each state who will do this....Arizona also has some good attorneys and they might be also licensed in Texas...dual licensing is common near the state borders.
You can write me at my address on my page....
I am under the impression you are anti-illegal....if you are pro-illegal and pro-spending for people who have no busines here...we are not on the same page.....

If a doctor sees a patient in need. He will do his best to help him or her! It's called ethics!
