The post comes after Tony Pastor, a doctor at Texas’s Children’s Hospital and assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine, posted a TikTok, that has since been deleted, in which he encouraged patients to not answer whether they are a U.S. citizen on their intake form at the hospital.

After a TikTok video in which a Texas physician informed the public of their right to not respond to a citizenship question on hospital intake forms went viral, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) fired back on social media.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has threatened a children’s hospital with “consequences” after a doctor posted a viral TikTok telling patients they’re not legally obligated to tell a hospital their citizenship status.

"Hey Texas Children’s Hospital & Baylor College of Medicine this doctor is putting your Medicaid & Medicare funding at risk. [You] better think twice & have crystal clear records," Abbott wrote.
