These people are disgusting. Good job, Texas. You have some of the most despicable people elected in this country.
Texas has been GOP governed for 28 years; this is absolutely what they want.
Companies headquartered in Texas should be boycotted.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has threatened a children’s hospital with “consequences” after a doctor posted a viral TikTok telling patients they’re not legally obligated to tell a hospital their citizenship status.
Greg Abbott is a little piss baby.
Hey, @DogPeePoo@lemm.ee! Are we talking about that little puts baby, Greg Abbott? I heard that he's a little piss baby!
This has to be the depths of depravity, to smugly threaten critical funding for a children’s hospital because some individual doctors (correctly) point out that the state’s immigration question is non binding.
He’d rather hurt everyone’s kids if it means he can’t hurt the brown kids more. Maybe that tree should have fallen a little closer to his head and we’d all be spared this reality
Maybe?
Correction, everyone’s kids who utilize government insurance are
You know, if you're gonna shut down hospitals because a doctor disagreed with you, you might, miiiight just be a fascist.
They are. We know it. They know it. They embrace it. We still act like it is an insult or we are exposing some secret.......ffs
What a great way to ensure your state has a critical shortage of doctors. Already happening for women health care departments.
Can't wait to see how the next four years and beyond work out. I'm sure it'll be great.
Think of the children!
Not enough of them are dying!
“Hey Texas Children’s Hospital & Baylor College of Medicine this doctor is putting your Medicaid & Medicare funding at risk,” Abbott wrote on X, sharing a link to an Express-News article that reports on Pastor’s video.
No, Abbot. YOU and the Cheeto-elect are putting their funding at risk. You are absolute garbage human beings.
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.
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.
“You do not have to answer the citizenship question if you don’t want to. Your answer will not affect your care — you will not be turned away,” the flyer states. “You have a right to life-saving care, regardless of citizenship or immigration status.”
Just like Jesus would have done when it comes to helping children.
Fucking shitty Republican Christians.
Freedom of Speech is only for speech the government likes.
"We're for sMaLl GoVeRnMeNt!"
--lying GOP clowns
Genuinely evil and i don't see how they don't see how evil they are.
It’s not evil if the victims aren’t people
Someone should put this fucker on a steep hill with a cliff at the bottom
That sounds survivable, though, I imagine the hospital bills won't be.
We can add spikes, or maybe hit him with an ATGM on the way down
We pay those for him
Something something That Commie Healthcare something
(/s)
Maybe you should take it away- you know, since he’s so intent on taking not-free healthcare from citizens,
On brand.
So happy I got out of that state. I couldn't stand the idea of my tax dollars funding this fuckhead's administration.
