Ron DeSantis was sick when he saw one awful reality about illegal immigration

Illegal aliens cost Florida at least $660 million in healthcare expenses

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wants his state to be a leader in helping President Donald Trump with the mass deportation of illegal aliens.

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration released data showing the staggering healthcare costs for illegal aliens that taxpayers are stuck footing the bill for.

Federal law requires that hospitals treat anyone who comes into an emergency room regardless of their immigration status.

More than 67,000 emergency room trips were made at Florida hospitals by illegal aliens in 2024.

Those trips cost at least $660 million.

Florida’s Medicaid system was on the hook for $76.6 million in payments to hospitals to cover the bills for illegal aliens.

Miami-Dade County, the largest in Florida, saw illegal aliens rack up more than $282 million in expenses.

Florida Agency for Health Care Administration Deputy Secretary Kim Smoak said that data revealed that illegal aliens are creating a burden for the state’s healthcare system.

“The Agency remains dedicated to fulfilling Governor Desantis’ commitment to protecting taxpayer dollars from being used on individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States,” Smoak said. “The data confirms that the financial burden of illegal immigration continues to strain Florida’s health care system. We will continue working to ensure that hospitals and health care providers deliver quality services to U.S. citizens.”

Florida’s data could only be the tip of the iceberg for what illegal immigration is costing the state.

The data did not count illegal aliens who did not report their immigration status during their emergency room visits.

Patients are not required to reveal their immigration status to hospitals when they receive treatment.

Of the more than 36,000 people who visited the emergency room at Flagler Hospital in St. Johns County, 96% did not reveal their citizenship status.

Wife denies all wrongdoing despite the evidence

The murder-for-hire plot was discovered after the Florida inmate’s contraband cellphone was discovered by the prison’s guards.

Victoria Goodwin denied that she wanted to kill her husband.

She said that she and Aaron were going through a rocky period in the marriage.

Victoria told the police that she thought the discussion about money with the Florida inmate was for cellphones and that she did not remember sending any message about killing her husband.

Any discussions about being upset with Aaron were just her “daydreaming or fantasizing about being without her husband.”

This alibi did not fly with the police and they booked her.

Victoria Goodwin is being held in the Clark County, Nevada jail with bail set at $100,000.

Her husband was stunned at the news.

TMZ reported that he was “blindsided and devastated at this turn of events” and “thought he was in a happy marriage,” according to their sources.

Aaron and Victoria Goodwin were married at the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland in August 2022.

The couple had posted seemingly happy pictures on social media for Valentine’s Day last month.

Aaron was the cameraman for his friend and paranormal investigator Zak Bagans on Ghost Adventures since the show debuted in 2008.

Bagans told TMZ “it’s an emotional time” for his friend and “he’s trying to give him love and support.”

The murder-for-hire plot by Victoria Goodwin is scarier than anything her husband’s show ever found looking for ghosts.
