The medical system in New York City is straining under the weight of the constant flow of illegals.
Hospitals and medical centers are being overwhelmed by the sheer number of people seeking treatment and it’s not surprising. When you suddenly add tens of thousands more people than a system was designed for, this is what you get.
Have the people of New York had enough yet?
NBC News reports:
Inside a New York City hospital on the front lines of the migrant crisis
In the past year alone, medical centers across the five boroughs have received nearly 30,000 visits from undocumented migrants seeking medical care, according to data from New York City Health + Hospitals, which operates the city’s public hospitals and clinics. About 300 new babies have been born to migrant moms during that period, most at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan, which has seen one-quarter of the overall migrant visits.
“This has been the hardest work I’ve ever done,” said Dr. Ted Long, a senior vice president for New York City Health + Hospitals who helps oversee the city’s health response to the migrants…
For patients whose legal needs aren’t critical emergencies, including U.S. citizens who might be dealing with issues like addiction and eviction, the wait times can be months, or they can be referred to other service providers, she said.
“I’m sure if you talk to anybody else in the city who’s doing this work, there are waiting lists and people are turning people away or referring them to other places,” Retkin said. “If you asked me, ‘Do we need more resources for legal services?’ I would say absolutely, yes.”

NYC Hospital ER sign: “Please take a number and have a seat. You will be called by number.”
New Patient: “Hey look, #16. Not bad, huh?”
Almost immediately...
ER speaker: “Now calling patient #73. Patient #73, please come to the check-in counter.”
New Patient: “Uh, nurse, something’s wrong. I just pulled #16, but they’re calling #73. What gives?”
Nurse: “Oh that...we’re still on yesterday’s numbers. Please be patient, we’ll get to you.”
Dumb..
How hard is it to just do the right thing!
Do it all wrong and there will be consequences... Whatever the reason Biden opened the borders. there was going to be CONSEQUENCES!
Every time I see the amount crossing the border, everything in me says NO!
Everyone who sees the masses coming in, knows it’s wrong.
But they don’t stay at the bidens
They don’t camp on the Obama’s porch..
So all is well!
I have family in El Paso.. It’s not safe to go outside.. It’s an invaded territory where all the evils of all kinds of society have come to and camped wherever they can find a spot..
Well, I will wait til election season to answer that question. If they continue to always vote for Democrats, then, no, they have not had enough yet.
In Houston, nobody goes to the hospitals, they are clogged with illegal aliens for healthcare. Residents have to go to 24 hour doc in a box.
Same in California. Many hospitals shut down many years ago due to the illegals.
As usual, Biden f__s things up.
Tax dollars being wasted! Spend the $$$ to deport them - foreign invaders!!! . . . . . !:^{
And hospitals think I’m going to pay MY bill!!!!
There are none nastier than hospital and doctor bills. Especially if you are a US citizen.
You get to pay for all these illegals aaaand....you get to pay your own and it better be on time if you don’t want harassment and dragged into court.
It’s going to be interesting to see all the new diseases these spread.
Their Bills will pile up.
Good Luck NYers paying the Bill.
Don’t care. The hypocrites declared themselves a “Sanctuary City”. They were so superior to the xenophobic Red States. You Democrat Sanctimonious Hypocrites wanted the poor and huddled illegal masses, now they got them. Deal with it.
Meanwhile, get a load of this from Upstate NY...
I won’t spend a dime at any biz hiring them.
I’m guessing he’s all for allowing illegals, vaccinated or otherwise, to overrun the hospitals used by the “little people”.
They thought they were so cute hating on Trump, voting for the warped minded D A. Maybe she can help them out.
Proverbs 1:24 - 26
In Texas they have overburdened schools, hospitals, apartments, gas stations, grocery stores, roads, you name it.
And we are all paying for it.
AND they get it free.
No kidding? It has been that way in Texas for ages. Welcome to the rodeo. Embrace the suck.
Why not? They've already got one of the highest rates of diabetes in the World... Poor folks, just tryin' to feed their families...
