I can't really find anything saying that he did, but it's definitely his idea. That said I kind of hope he didn't though:

"National Defense Magazine reports that Niven offered his advice while in a public discussion with his longtime collaborator Jerry Pournelle:
Niven said a good way to help hospitals stem financial losses is to spread rumors in Spanish within the Latino community that emergency rooms are killing patients in order to harvest their organs for transplants.
"The problem [of hospitals going broke] is hugely exaggerated by illegal aliens who aren't going to pay for anything anyway," Niven said.
"Do you know how politically incorrect you are?" Pournelle asked.
"I know it may not be possible to use this solution, but it does work," Niven replied."

Yeah I mean I guess really I created this thread to call attention to this new fact I learned about Larry, which is very disappointing to me. Larry I have some worlds you can shove up your ring, you gently caress.
