Arizona border hospital faces financial crisis after treating so many illegal immigrant patients: ‘Not a sustainable model’
“We tracked our uncompensated care for a period of over six months,” Transchel said, “and we calculated that we’ve provided over $20 million in uncompensated care to the migrants crossing the border.”
Not only are many patients not paying for the care they receive, Transchel explained, but the hospital has had to increase staff to keep pace with the increased patient load. The Epoch Times reported that Yuma Regional treated 4,400 more patients last year than it had the year before.
Some illegal immigrants also require specialized care that Yuma Regional cannot provide, which means the hospital must then absorb the cost of transporting those patients, sometimes by “air ambulance,” to other facilities.
“So that $20 million is just the care that we’ve provided that we’re not compensated [for],” he said. “The other infrastructure that we’ve had to add is uncompensated as well, obviously.”
Transchel claimed that he and other hospital executives have reached out to various political leaders at the local, state, and federal levels, including Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, all to no avail. “Everybody is sympathetic, and everybody lends a listening ear, but nobody has a solution,” Transchel said.
Transchel also told Campos-Duffy that while illegal immigrants often receive free medical treatment, local residents in Arizona must pay for all of the services they receive and sometimes even have their care delayed when the hospital is overrun with migrant patients.
“We would have to delay some of the planned inductions for our [pregnant] residents because of that,” Transchel previously told Fox News.
Confidential Pfizer Memo About Project Veritas Gets Leaked . . . To Project Veritas
The allegation surfaces at a time when Florida politicians and their links to underage girls are already a subject of scrutiny. The Orlando Sentinel earlier this year contemplated the possibility that DeSantis’ close ties to Representative Matt Gaetz, which is described as having previously been advantageous, could become a liability now that Gaetz has been associated with a child sex trafficking case.
Still, the investigation may be moving uncomfortably close to the governor’s office. Besides Gaetz himself, the influential Florida political figures under federal scrutiny include Jason Pirozzolo, a hand surgeon and DeSantis campaign donor, and DeSantis’ political appointee Halsey Beshears, the state’s former top business regulator.
(Gaetz has denied allegations and has not been charged, but the associate whose involvement led to the investigation has pled guilty and is cooperating with investigators, and Gaetz is reportedly preparing a legal team for his own defense.)
As for DeSantis, he’s already walking a fine line politically as he tries to maintain lockstep with the former president, which has most recently meant a series of controversial moves in an attempt to prevent schools from mandating COVID-19 precautions for students, and hints that he’s considering further orders that would limit the ability of employers to mandate precautions for the workplace.
Starting out on him a little early?
Slow to the table this morning but thank you lyie.
Looking good.
Busy in the kitchen this morning, I got lost as where even to find it, let alone the utensils.
Hi Gran, Must have missed what happened to Bongino.
Been watching the hearing on the border.
Called Comer’s office and suggested that instead of grafts in the background, they should run videos in the background of all these illegals coming in.
His fellow thought it was a good idea.
Hope it works.
I said we are in charge now right and can do it.
We all know we have seen enough videos from the J6 committee.
I did read about this already.
US citizens having to pay while illegals don’t makes me go GRRRRRRR!!!!
According to Noah’s newsletter Bongino was in the hospital undergoing an operation.

“NEED SOME GOOD NEWS!!!!”
Well, I am having a State of Confusion party, have been in the kitchen making treats.
Do you know how hard it is to catch crickets and grasshoppers to cook up for appetizers?
I do not like green bugs and ham.
LOL
That’s a good idea, hope he uses it.
Did you hear Jamie Raskins closing?
He blamed the pubbies for starting the “Replacement Conspiracy” and said that it led to all the mass shootings.
He wants pubbies to denounce it.
I am so sick of the Demonrats who after getting caught doing something always manage to turn it on the pubbies to vilify them.
They have learned it works so they will keep doing it.
On his elbow.
🤣😂🤣😂
Hope those appetizers are for your lib friends.
“ It hasn’t happened yet to miss.”
