Denver's hospitals are at risk of COLLAPSE because of migrant crisis, with one health system providing $17M of unpaid care in just three months

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.

Security Guards who dress up like ninja warriors in solid black military style clothing are all over the Kroger/King Soopers Denver Grocery Stores. Denver area Home Depot stores as well. I am glad to see them. Just expensive to have that many guards around.

I'm sure they were all expecting a President Biden to bail them out in 2025.

What a surprise.

All part of the plan by the DS to bring this country down in a pile of ruin.

Prepare as best you can and if you live somewhere that still has decent medical care, take care of anything you need to now, especially something someone what elective, like cataract surgery.

My give a damn meter exploded. Really, what did they think would happen after declaring themselves a sanctuary?

and naturally the leftist fascist media has scarcely said a word about this sudden phenomenon of security guards suddenly appearing in most retail stores in the denver metro area ... the leftist are probably hoping that voters will be ignorant enough to believe it’s just happening in THEIR stores ...

In Los Angeles my cousins husband lost his job in a hospital back around 2010 due to illegals showing up in the emergency room for everything and costing the hospital to close. He was a manager of medical supplies. He was lucky that his contract gave him money after he was laid off. He found another hospital job doing the same thing so he got 2 incomes for nearly a year.
