It will punish Americans by denying them access to care. Again. the Federal Government mandates that hospitals treat anyone in need of emergency care. If the sponsors of this amendment oppose this. then they should trj to change EMTALA. the emergency medical treatment law. that requires that hospitals provide this treatment. change it so they are not required to treat undocumented aliens. Until then. the Federal Government is responsible for funding its mandates. So let there be no mistake about this amendment: it will close hospitals. it will close health clinics for Americans who live along the border. and it will result in an unfunded mandate.
