Yes, I have heard that this happens quite a lot and I have written the Mexican Government a letter protesting this practice.

I believe the question applies more to insurance reimbursement. If the person is a citizen and has no insurance when they present to the ER, the benefit specialist may want to know if the hospital can submit an application to Medicaid for reimbursement for the visit. If the person is not a citizen, in some states they cannot get reimbursed.

What is an ER Doctor?
I think it is normal to ask, why not? Maybe he is just ensuring that his patients have health insurance.
If however he is discriminating or prioritising his patient list then I would report him. It depends on what you can prove and how you can prove it!
Good luck!

Yes. To many illegals flooding the charity hospitals are forcing them to close down here in my state.
