GALVESTON, Texas -- The University of Texas Medical Branch may stop offering cancer care to indigent and undocumented immigrants in order to cut costs.
The UTMB set aside about $12 million in this year's $1.4 billion annual budget to treat indigent cancer patients, but that isn't enough to meet demand, said Karen Sexton, vice president and CEO of hospitals and clinics at the medical branch.
