Report looks at cost of care for illegal immigrants - Tarrant County, Texas

“A community advocacy group estimates that about 97,000 illegal immigrants live in Tarrant County and could be provided medical care through the taxpayer-supported JPS Health Network for less than $4.2 million a year, according to a report compiled by the group.

Allied Communities of Tarrant presented a preliminary draft of the report to several JPS board members, nearly eight months after asking the full board to repeal its policy that prohibits illegal immigrants from receiving charity care at Tarrant County Hospital District clinics.”
