The fact remains: illegal aliens currently receive free medical care in the United States, where they cannot be refused treatment at any emergency room at any time.
Illegal aliens receive emergency Medicaid under a law passed in 1986. "Hospitals can get federal Medicaid funding to reimburse them for emergency services they are required to provide to low-income individuals,
regardless of immigration status, which includes undocumented people," Mr Cuello told us.
"Emergency Medicaid is very temporary coverage for the medical services provided at all emergency rooms, often just one service on one day, but not necessarily ongoing health insurance enrollment, like a U.S. citizen can pay for, or receives by qualifying for Medicaid," he added.
