The Breaking Point - Reprieve Eases Medical Crisis for Illegal Immigrants - Series - NYTimes.com: "ATLANTA — After a largely sleepless night, Cruz Constancia got up Tuesday morning wondering whether this would be the day that she finally stopped receiving dialysis without charge."

More immediately, it was Grady Memorial Hospital that allowed it on Tuesday.
