U.S. President Joe Biden s administration has yet to reimburse a Texas hospital more than $200,000 in healthcare costs for taking care of migrant children.
According to a Fox News report, Midland Memorial Hospital has been treating migrant children after the Department of Health and Human Services had opened an intake facility for unaccompanied minors in March.
However, the hospital has not received any payment from the federal government in return, according to the public relations manager for the hospital, Tasa Richardson.
Richardson confirmed that the hospital has been providing healthcare services to 40 individuals from the migrant facility.
Illegal Alien Children s Hospital Bills Adding Up in West Texas
MIDLAND, TX – According to the Congressman August Pfluger, on May 27, he was alerted that at least 40 illegal alien children from the Midland HHS facility have been treated at Midland Memorial Hospital for a number of issues including COVID, pregnancy, suicide attempts, and more racking up charges in excess of $200,000. To date, President Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services has not processed a single claim to pay back Midland Memorial, stated Pfluger. Midland’s hospital system should not have to shoulder the costs of the Biden border crisis. I will immediately begin knocking down doors to demand that Midland Memorial Hospital is paid in full.
