Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has threatened to pull funding from a children’s hospital after a doctor went viral for telling patients they are not legally required to disclose their citizenship status.
Dr. Tony Pastor, an adult congenital cardiologist at Texas Children’s Hospital and assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine, posted a video on TikTok, responding to Abbott’s executive orderrequiring Texas public hospitals that accept Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Plan to report on health care for undocumented immigrants. The order was implemented Nov. 1.
That type of doctor is highly highly specialized among medicine. I’m sure other places would love to have him and his experience. Unfortunately the kids there in Texas suffer as political ideology prevail there. We die as ignorance rules
