Read FactVote summary
The bill would require hospitals participating in Federal health care programs to ask patients to indicate their immigration status on intake forms and, in some cases, request documentation of lawful permanent residence. Hospitals would submit quarterly status counts to the Secretaries of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security, and noncompliant hospitals would be excluded from Federal health care programs. The Secretary would report aggregated information and related uncompensated-care and hospital-funding information to Congress annually, without requiring patient names or other identifying information.
