So, what do y'all think about this?

I'm rockin' it in the ER today in the hill country (yes Texas, I'm sorry). Anyway, had an older patient who was all jacked up but didn't want to be admitted because he didn't have insurance. I say "not even Medicaid". He says, I can't get it. I'm like ***.

Anyway, the dude moved from Canada 40 years ago to marry his wife (American). Did all the paperwork to become a citizen and has assumed he was a full-up citizen. Working hard in Texas, paying taxes, owns a business, working hard. Until, now 40 years later the guy is jacked up and needing major heart surgery. Medicaire tells him he's not eligible, because he's not a citizen.

So, this dude is having to spend his life savings on medical care. Thought he was good to go. I think it's BS.
