    Illegal Immigrants Cause $566 Million in Unpaid Healthcare Burden on Florida

    According to reports so much, the state’s hospitals lost a sizable$ 566 million in just in 2024, and the state’s hospitals are now paying up the majority of that loss. Florida recently passed a law mandating hospitals to make public the costs of paid care for immigrants.

    In May 2023, Republican Gov. Senate Bill 1718, which requires medical providers to verify whether people are legitimate people, was signed by Ron DeSantis. After the fugitives were discovered unable to pay for their treatment, the legislation’s goal was to find out how much care for them went to the taxpayers and hospitals.

    In his statement at the time, DeSantis said:

    We will not sit idly by while the national government abdicates its legal responsibilities to defend our nation in Florida. The legislation I signed today, in response to reckless federal government actions, makes it possible for Florida to have the most ambitious anti-illegal immigration laws in the nation. It also makes sure that the Florida taxpayers are n’t paying the price for illegal immigration.

    Numerous institutions have started reporting to the state since the bill was passed in 2023, and the amount of money they are losing to illegal patients is astounding.

    The scenario of the damage to Manatee Memorial Hospital is instructive.

    At a recent region conference, Tom McDougal, the CEO of Manatee Memorial Hospital, disclosed that the county will provide$ 2.7 million in revenue in 2023. However, the doctor spent$ 21.2 million in 2023 on unemployed care prices, mostly to fugitives, compared to$ 14.4 million in 2021, the Herald- Tribune reported on April 18.

    According to McDougal,$ 17.9 million is spent annually on expensive care services. Even after state funds are used to offset the loss, he added, the saving amounts to a$ 15 million gap each year.

    The condition also reported that, in 2021, attention for fugitives cost the state about$ 312 million. But now it is also worse.

    It is obvious that the prices of providing for impoverished fugitives are rapidly adding up because SB 1718 is now recording the costs to the Sunshine State in real-time. To name just a few, according to the state’s monitoring site, MyFlorida.com, Broward County has lost$ 43, 056, 022 so far in 2024 to the paid health costs for illegals. Duval has suffered a loss of$ 31, 439, 143, Hillsborough’s loss is at$ 58, 822, 134, Orange stands at$ 58, 328, 521, and Miami- Dade has lost a whopping$ 231, 804, 144.

    According to the monitoring site, the estimated costs to care for illegal aliens have been more than$ 566 million to day.

    Florida is not the only state to funnel millions of dollars into laborers ‘ health care. In March 2023, Fox News reported that between December 2021 and November 2022, Yuma Regional Medical Center in Yuma, Arizona, had spent$ 26 million on workers who did not pay for the services.

    According to Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, who estimated that the Lone Star State would spend between$ 62 and$ 90 million annually to cover illegal aliens, in January 2021. In 2022, Illinois reported spending$ 1.1 billion.

    Unsurprisingly, the federal government is also in the company of giving laborers free medical care, paid for decency of the U. S. citizens. According to Forbes, the federal government was already spending$ 18.5 billion on healthcare for unlawful creatures as of 2018. Before President Joe Biden opened the borders and allocated billions of additional revenue dollars to the task, that was before.

    Although Trump briefly slowed these spending, he once again opened the door wide when he took over the White House.

    The prices continue to bubble. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, illegal immigration is costing the government’s medical devices at least$ 23 billion annually, of which$ 8.2 billion is uninsured medical care for illegal foreigners, at least until 2023.
