Thanks to my colleague @annawerner for spotlighting a 1.7 MILLION $ medical bill sent by U.S. Treasury to Alexis Hernandez, of Puerto Rico, for medical care he received, in the U.S., after an explosion. His insurance won’t pay & won’t say WHY @NydiaVelazquez @RepJenniffer
@alexisjoelpr is a U.S. citizen who asked the islands fmr Governor, & his confessional representative for help; so far the debt hasn’t been forgiven, or even reduced. He say his P.R. insurance said it would pay. It didn’t. He’s hopeless. We’ll stay on it.

Tourists, if you’re going to go to Puerto Rico you must wear a mask. @WapaTV reports this 18yo man from Colorado didn’t. Police repeatedly asked him to get out of the street. He appears to taunt them. They tased & arrested him as the crowd clapped.

Per @ElNuevoDia: the prosecutor wanted to charge the suspect with obstruction & violation of the executive order, “but Judge Iliana Blanco did not determine cause since, being in an alleged state of intoxication, he did not understand the police commands.”

The suspect received a 100 dollar fine.
