Fallout from “U.S. Tightens Medicaid Rules for Babies of Illegal Immigrants

“All it means for hospitals is that we will have more uncompensated care,”

“Babies born to illegal immigrant parents will no longer automatically be enrolled in MediCal under a new federal policy, alarming local hospitals and public health advocates.

Hospital officials are decrying the new policy, announced late last week. They say it places even more of a burden on hospitals already struggling to care for the uninsured. They’re waiting to see what the state policy says when Sacramento officials finish it.”
