A Texas hospital that has been treating migrant children for a range of concerns after their trek across the Southern border has not gotten any reimbursement from the Biden administration for their more than $200,000 in health care costs, the hospital told Fox News Thursday. Midland Memorial Hospital has been providing health care for the migrants after the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) opened an intake facility for unaccompanied minors in March in Midland, Texas. "I can confirm that Midland Memorial Hospital has provided healthcare services to 40 individuals from the migrant facility," Richardson told Fox News. "Health care eligibility is effective on the first day that a child has been placed in the physical custody of ORR," the statement continued. But safety and sanitation concerns have dogged the facility and other emergency sites since their opening earlier this year in response to a surge of migrant children crossing the border.
