For three days, the staff of an Orlando medical clinic encouraged a woman with abdominal pain who called the triage line to go to the hospital. She resisted, scared of a 2023 Florida law that required hospitals to ask whether a patient was in the U.S. with legal permission.

The clinic had worked hard to explain the limits of the law, which was part of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ sweeping package of tighter immigration policies. The clinic posted signs and counseled patients: They could decline to answer the question and still receive care. Individual, identifying information wouldn’t be reported to the state.

“We tried to explain this again and again and again, but the fear was real,” Grace Medical Home CEO Stephanie Garris said, adding the woman finally did go to an emergency room for treatment.

Update: IDK wtf happened. I thought I was in the Trump golf course assassination attempt post in this community. I had even read the summary in the post before commenting. Maybe it's an error with my client, maybe it's user error. Anyway, I'm sorry for the confusion.

I know that this is beside the point but it probably wasn't an AK47. AK47s are kinda rare. It was probably a Kalashnikov style riffle. https://youtube.com/watch?v=L_PR1OdS754

Yes I'm aware but What the actual flying fuck does the trump assassination have to do with the topic of immigrants being asked for legal status at hospitals?

It doesn't
