Please boost: Ken Goodman & I call on bioethicists & health care facilities to take action to ameliorate Florida's #SB1718. It requires hospitals to ask about citizenship status, an action designed to create fear among immigrant patients and potentially prevent them from seeking needed care in a timely fashion. #medmastodon #bioethics https://www.thehastingscenter.org/bioethicists-and-health-care-institutions-must-act-against-floridas-anti-immigrant-law/?fbclid=IwAR0LHwVIndR-GblLw5-ziUdWZ3qvWbhEu3dEA95-nP_6RsxcuUtugMOWUCo
