The Associated Press, Dec. 3, 2007 UTMB may stop offering cancer care to indigent illegal immigrants, a policy that would save money but run counter to the medical school's mission of treating the poor. UTMB has a $1.4 billion annual budget and set aside about $12 million this year to treat indigent cancer patients. It is still not able to meet demand, said Karen Sexton, UTMB vice president and CEO of hospitals and clinics. (This story has appeared nationally and globally.)
