"Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed an executive order Thursday requiring hospitals to ask patients about their immigration status to help the state determine the cost of providing healthcare to noncitizens.
Beginning Nov. 1, Abbott is directing hospitals in Texas to gather data on 'patients who are not lawfully present in the United States,' as well as the number of inpatient discharges and emergency visits and the costs of care."
