I don’t want to live in a country where friends of powerful politicians get preference in receiving medical care, but Joe Biden evidently thinks that’s an appealing vision of the future he is building. He is actually so proud of doing his part to make that a reality in practice that he bragged about it in public. Kyle Morris reports for Fox News:
President Joe Biden said Thursday he personally reached out to a hospital the night before to ensure the wife of his "good friend" received immediate care because the "waiting room was so crowded."
"Last night, I was on the telephone with a person at an emergency hospital ward in Pennsylvania because a good friend had called, and he had rushed his significant other to the emergency room because this woman was having trouble breathing, had a high fever, and could not catch her breath," Biden said during a speech in Illinois promoting COVID-19 vaccine mandates for businesses. "They got her into the hospital. The waiting room was so crowded, things were so backed up they couldn't even get her to be seen initially. So, because I knew this person, I called. I called the desk receiving nurse and asked what the situation was."
"To make long story short, it took a while because all of the – not all – the vast majority of the emergency rooms and docs were occupied taking care of COVID patients," Biden added. "I bet every one of you can name somebody who got sent to the hospital with something other than COVID and couldn't get it taken care of."
Don’t believe he really would say something so repellant to anyone who doesn’t expect to benefit from favoritism? Here is video of it:

Biden lives in a world of privilege based on cronyism. He bestows that privilege on friends, family and the little people (peasants).
I heard about this yesterday on another post. I was absolutely appalled that POTUS would place a call to get the wife of a friend to jump to the head of the line. Now to hear that the bastard is actually BRAGGING about it just sickens me.
The nation daily slips deeper into the abyss.
Too bad the hospital person didn’t just say “FJB” and hang up.
Welcome to Nationalized Healthcare
Let’s go, Brandon!
Joe will help anyone jump to the head of the line....if they make a hefty donation to the Biden Crime Syndicate.
How many people are going to be whisked to the head of the line because they are “friends of Joe (Stolen)”?
The very ultimate in cronyism.
Oligarchs.
“President Joe Biden said Thursday he personally reached out to a hospital the night before to ensure the wife of his “good friend” received immediate care because the “waiting room was so crowded.”
Gee, i wonder why the waiting room was so crowded?????
And now the next episode of “If Trump Did That!”
Prayers up for Mrs. Corn Pop.
babblin’ biden and incompetent crew do daily that which President Trump was constantly falsely accused of.
Must have been one of his old truck driving buddies.
Our son works in an ER in SE PA. He tells us that wait times are anywhere from 2-14 hours. They are understaffed and stressed out. Patients and families yell at them in frustration, but there isn’t anything he can do about it. I was in a specialty ER recently and spent 7+ hours waiting around. The standard of care is dropping off a cliff in America compared to what I grew up with. Making calls to jump the queue is despicable, but that’s what the elite are - despicable.
It’s not a Biden thing.
This seems to be the mindset of the Democratic party as a whole.
(And some Republicans but you always have egomaniacs in leadership positions. The point of an organization is to keep them in CHECK)
Oh come on now people! The answer is extremely simple: “They are so much more equal than you or me…”
He bragged about getting a foreign prosecutor who was investigating his son’s business associates fired and got impeached for it. Oh, my bad! Trump got impeached for it.
Democrat, failure, Joe Biden is one really sick,evil, useless, puppy!!! Americans that you tolerate this America Nation Republic Destroyer, Lunatic, Criminal, Murderer of innocent, unworthy of our once great nation!!! Maybe Biden is not the only sick puppy in the USA...maybe there are millions of Americans that are solidly asleep at the wheel!!! Go figure!!!
