The new immigration law will require hospitals receiving Medicaid money to ask patients for their immigration status.
There's fear among undocumented families in Florida. In less than a month, a new immigration law will go into effect.
"It's causing fear and it's deterring people from seeking health care," said Renata Bozzetto, deputy director for the Florida Immigrant Coalition."Our services team is already receiving reports of hospitals and doctors' offices refusing care because they are also afraid for being liable because they don't understand the full extent of the law," said Bozzetto.
"At the end, everyone will be affected. Undocumented immigrants, U.S. citizens and residents," said Estrada."Our main focus is that people are not left behind," said Miami Dade Police Department director, Freddy Ramirez. FREDDY RAMIREZ: Absolutely. I understand how that population is in fear. No matter who you are, documented, undocumented, that if you're a victim of a crime or you're being victimized do not be afraid to call the police.
