Let me start. WOMEN, CHILDREN, and MOTHERS ARE DYING!!! Certain doctors, medical staff, hospital and states, are so afraid of being crimialized for performing an abortion, no matter what. Women, baby, and mother are dying. God only knows how many others for not being able to get advanced screening for other female problems.
I just know there is a special place in hell for Trump, Abbott, his ‘fake Christians’, or ‘psuedo religious’. Pure blasphemy using God’s name, or in the ‘name of Christianity and religious belief’ twist the true word of God to suit your narrative. To condone and perpetuate your acts of hate, control, power, and wealth. For that is truely what this is about.
These people are no different than a fraud, thief, liar, manipulator, swindler, and theif at its’ lowest derrogatory level.
What makes them any different than profiling and segregating now versus the past. For anyone who believes they aren’t collecting long term information to do EXACTLY that is naive
You simply can not forget Hitler and his ways and history. This is where it all starts.
Because this means nothing to Abbott.
A modern interpretation of the Hippocratic Oath often includes phrases like “I will do no harm,” “respect patient autonomy,” “uphold confidentiality,” “continuously seek knowledge,” “act with compassion and empathy,” “prioritize patient well-being,” and “share medical expertise with colleagues,” essentially pledging to provide the best possible care while prioritizing the patient’s needs and respecting their decisions, all while avoiding unnecessary harm.
Key points of a modern Hippocratic Oath:
- Patient-centered care: “I will prioritize the well-being and needs of my patients above all else.”
- Informed consent: “I will ensure my patients fully understand their medical conditions and treatment options before making decisions.”
- Confidentiality: “I will safeguard the privacy of my patients’ medical information.”
- Ethical conduct: “I will practice medicine with integrity and honesty, avoiding conflicts of interest.”
- Lifelong learning: “I will continually strive to improve my medical knowledge and skills.”
- Collaboration: “I will work cooperatively with other healthcare professionals for the benefit of my patients.”
The hospitals must ask patients starting Friday whether they are in the U.S. legally and track the cost of treating people without legal status following an order by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott that expands the state’s clash with the Biden administration over immigration.
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. The mandate is similar to a policy that debuted last year in Florida, where Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is also a frequent critic of the federal government’s handling of illegal crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Texas hospitals have spent months preparing for the change and have sought to reassure patients that it won’t affect their level of care.
Here’s what to know:
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.
Patients have the right to withhold the information and hospital workers must tell them their responses will not affect their care, as required by federal law.
Hospitals are not required to begin submitting reports to the state until March. An early draft of a spreadsheet made by state health officials to track data does not include fields to submit patient names or personal information.
Providers will fill out a breakdown of visits by inpatient and emergency care patients and document whether they are lawfully present in the country, citizens or not lawfully present in the U.S.
The reports will also add up costs for those covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, known as CHIP; and the cost for patients without it.
Texas should not have to shoulder the burden of financially supporting medical care for illegal immigrants,” Abbott said when he announced the policy.
Florida enacted a similar law last year. Health care advocates contend the law has made immigrants who need of emergency medical care fearful and led to fewer people seeking help, even from facilities not subject to the law.
Florida’s early data is – by the state’s own admission – limited. The data is self-reported. Anyone can decline to answer, an option chosen by nearly 8% of people admitted to the hospital and about 7% of people who went to the emergency room from June to December 2023, according to Florida’s state report. Fewer than 1% of people who went to the emergency room or were admitted to the hospital reported being in the U.S. “illegally.”
Immigrant and health care advocates have sought to educate the Texas public about their rights. In Florida, groups used text messages, posters and emails to get the word out. But advocates there have said they didn’t see fears subside for about a year.
Health care providers received directives from the state and guidance from the Texas Hospital Association.
“The bottom line for patients is that this doesn’t change hospital care. Texas hospitals continue to be a safe place for needed care,” said Carrie Williams, spokesperson for the hospital association.
All of these lies and fear mongering will catch up. Mark my words. Then, we will have a MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM.
We are most definitely moving that tone needle closer and closer to somewhere between ‘The Purge’ mentality and ‘Cultism’
I for one am praying hard for all of human kind. For we are truly lost and so many corrupt. We are moving toward the abyss and not away.
