Texas Reports Over $1 Billion in Hospital Costs Related to Illegal Aliens for 2025 Fiscal Year
Illegal aliens have cost states a lot of money.
It is evident from what the state of Texas has reported in regard to hospital-related costs.
Hospitals in Texas have accrued over $1 billion in healthcare costs for illegal aliens for fiscal year 2025. This was the first year that Texas tracked the statistics.
The information was gathered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Texas Scorecard had access to the data, which revealed that hospitals recorded over 300,000 visits that were related to illegal aliens. Total costs were about $1.05 billion at the end of fiscal year 2025.
Their state’s fiscal year goes from September 1st to August 31st. The hospitals started reporting later, in November, which means the costs are potentially higher.
Texas hospitals accumulated more than $1 billion in healthcare costs for illegal immigrants during fiscal year 2025, the first year the state began tracking the figures.
The data, compiled by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and obtained by Texas Scorecard, shows hospitals logged 313,742 visits linked to individuals not legally present, with total costs reaching $1.05 billion by the end of the fiscal year.
Texas’ fiscal year runs from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31, but hospitals were only required to begin reporting in November. Based on the reported data, costs averaged about $105 million per month, meaning the true annual total could be significantly higher.
“To put the figures into perspective, the reported hospital costs approach about 1% of the state’s tax-funded resources.” Fox News Reported.
The information was obtained as a result of Governor Greg Abbott signing an executive order back in 2024, requiring the agency to track illegals who were accessing public hospitals in Texas.
During the open border under the Biden regime, Texas had a record number of illegal crossings. As a result, it put a strain on their healthcare system.
A flashback to 2023 as a reminder of just how bad it was.
Watch:
Well what do we have over here in the great state of Texas. A massive influx of illegal aliens that gathered underneath the Eagle Pass bridge.. the crossing took approx… a little over an hour and a half.
For nearly two years to the exact day we saw over 15,000 Haitians… pic.twitter.com/LmLaMbgbGp
