A Houston doctor says don't answer the citizenship question that Texas hospitals must now include on patient intake forms.
On Aug. 8, Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued an executive order requiring hospitals that accept Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Plan coverage to ask patients if they are citizens of the United States . The mandate took effect on Nov. 1, and has prompted hospitals all over the state to include the question, “Are you a U.S. citizen?” on patient intake forms.
“So my proposal to everyone who’s seeing this is, just know that you do not have to answer this question.” He added, “Wouldn’t it be amazing if everyone who comes in doesn’t answer it, and really messes with whatever data they’re looking for?” ALSO READ: Texas mom accused of abandoning child to meet San Antonio Hinge date As of Nov. 23, Pastor’s video has gathered 1.2 million views, over 246,000 likes and 13,500 saves.
