Denver's hospitals are at risk of collapsing due to out-of-control immigration, with one healthcare system providing $17 million in free care in just three months.
It comes as the Colorado city's Mayor Mike Johnston warns he's had to cut DMV and Parks & Rec funding 'in the face of the migrant crisis'.
Struggling UCHealth was given $17 million from other hospitals, including $10 million from University Colorado Hospital, to help care for 5,800 undocumented patients between November and January, according to the Denver Post.
Medics believe these patients are mostly - if not entirely - migrants, because the data covers people who don't have a Social Security number or health insurance and were seeking healthcare in the US for the first time.
And this figure is only the tip of the iceberg. It excludes migrants who had sought care from the system before or those who qualified for emergency Medicaid, which covers undocumented patients in labor or with some life-threatening conditions.

Like healthcare wasn’t bad enough! Only gonna get more expensive and almost impossible to see a Dr. when you need one!
But...let’s do keep the borders not only wide open but also keep actively facilitating the influx of millions of the non-English speaking, the unemployble and the penniless, with health issues but no health care.
Los Angeles, San Fran, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Nashville need more unvetted “migrants.”
To “build back better”, first you need to burn everything to the ground.
profits over people is the problem? Or is it the answer?
“Medics believe these patients are mostly - if not entirely - migrants”
Illegals. Even Fox is using term “migrant”....”a person who moves from one place to another..”. Sounds so benign.
“Everything the DimbulbcRATs touch turns to shi...er...Dorkbamastuff”
Who signed EMTALA?
“Something new has just happened in my little burg that’s 45 minutes north of Denver: security guards have suddenly appeared at the front of local grocery and big box stores..”
Armed Security guards in Northern California have become often very common “in” stores close to Freeways.
Ever notice the first services to get cut are the ones that the taxpayers enjoy?
Nobody ever cuts the gibmees.
At least 1M more.
Collapse the whole Front Range “system”. Send them to the virtue signalers in Boulder, let them run wild on the campus. The Oh-So-Loving “women” there should be all for it.
We should really arm the aliens and tell them “fend for yourselves”, let the wilding begin. You want the Turd World? You got it.
Dick Lamm is rolling in his grave.
Why not? They destroyed Yuma AZs healthcare months ago and nobody gave a damn until they did it to a sanctuary $#itty.
It’s all part of “the plan”.
***common practice of people without health plans using the emergency room as their first stop after not seeing a doctor all year ***
That was happening long before Obamacare. We took our adult daughter to the emergency room due to possible pneumonia infection. It was empty except for us. We still had to wait for a doctor. As we waited, a few more showed up and within two hours the Emergency room was packed with people, many with minor problems getting care that many would never pay for.
“It sounds like the border crossings into Texas have decreased greatly in recent weeks...”
I’m not there but I’ve been getting the same impression. Migrants obviously have a very good communication system. Perhaps the “guides” put out word on which areas to avoid and where things are “more friendly”. Abbott’s actions may have caused the word to go out that Texas isn’t as easy anymore, you’ll get bused up north where it’s cold, etc.
I am sure that there will be plenty of DEI physicians to see you in the near future.
I remember a long wait at the ER once. Ahead of us was a group of 4 young guys apparently from Pakistan or maybe India. “I was standing next to the car to say goodbye to my buddy and he rolled the car over my foot.” He had a slightly embarrassed look with his eyebrows in an inverted V shape upward as “Hey, what can you do?”
Smart, real smart.
“well, something new has just happened in my little burg that’s 45 minutes north of Denver”
45 minutes during the day: Wheatridge.
At 2AM: North of Fort Collins.
Was said many times the illegals would flood our medical systems.....and here we are just beginning....
NORTHRIDGE HOSPITAL in San Fernando alley-—LOS ANGELES closed down completely due to illegals who were ‘frequent fliers’ & never paid. Most gang bangers-—gun shot wounds & knife wounds.I lived about 5 blocks from there until 1993.
GLAD I LEFT-—WON’T GO BACK
Obamacare fixed it… LOL
They should pull a Moo, and just transfer the “migrants” (illegal aliens) to the multitude of Federal hospitals in Colorado (hint: Air Force Academy, Ft Carson, etc.)
