Medical treatment for illegal immigrants has cost Floridian taxpayers more than $566 million this year. Last May, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 1718, which obliges hospitals to track and publish immigrant costs. Figures released on April 30 show that expenses are rising and medical facilities are struggling.
For example, Manatee Memorial Hospital CEO Tom McDougal told a county meeting that his facility received $2.7 million from the taxpayer last year but paid out a staggering $21.2 million to treat uninsured patients, the majority of whom are illegal immigrants. That figure was up from $14.4 million the previous year.
But we're told they're a net positive. LOL
