    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.

      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.

      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.
