Texas hospitals must now ask patients whether they're in the US legally. Here's how it works
Briefly

"Critics fear the change could scare people away from hospitals in Texas, even though patients are not required to answer the questions to receive medical care."
"Under the executive order announced by Abbott in August, hospitals must ask patients if they are citizens in the U.S. and whether they are lawfully present in the country."
"Hospitals are not required to begin submitting reports to the state until March. An early draft of a spreadsheet made by state health officials does not include fields for patient names."
