Arizona hospital on brink of collapse after spending $20 million on migrant care: 'Nobody has a solution'
Fox News ^ | 2/5/23 | Taylor Penly

Migrant patients are overwhelming a border town's sole hospital, straining medical resources and placing the facility on the brink of collapse without sufficient funding to accommodate the influx of people.

Dr. Robert Transchel, the president and CEO of Yuma, Arizona's Yuma Regional Medical Center, told co-hsot Rachel Campos-Duffy Sunday on "Fox & Friends Weekend" that the problem is nothing new.

"It's been a long journey," he said. "We've been at this for well over a year now. We tracked our uncompensated care for a period of over six months, and we calculated that we've provided over $20 million in uncompensated care to the migrants crossing the border."

I'm sure this hospital is not the only one financially suffering due to Biden and the left's open border policies. Spread this out through all the hospitals in border states and to a lessor extent, all hospitals nationwide and you will find that such a strain is being put on the health care system that it will all eventually collapse. We can not have open borders AND free medical treatment.

The solution is finagling a company in Ukraine or China to allow one of your doctors to sit on the board of an energy company for billions of dollars.

SOLUTION?

Send illegals back to their own countries.

It is the Cloward-Piven Strategy of Orchestrated Crisis. The goal is to overwhelm and collapse the system. I would say it is working pretty well.

Yep- I remember years ago a border town in Texas was going to send Mexico a bill for all of the pregnant mules coming in to drop anchor babies.

Mexico just laughs.

They know FULL WELL that we are paying THEIR welfare costs for their citizens and don’t give one green *** damn.

Trump needs to be back in office and withhold the medical costs from the welfare we send them.

I have a solution. Close the border, sent those already here to their origins.

...also strategically designed to refuse medical aid to all who refuse the coming cashless society, which will develop into a one world cashless society and only accessible to those who receive a mark in the right hand or forehead.

More importantly, nobody gives a damn. The Commies view everything as FREE, as long as someone else picks up the tab. The Iron Lady had the freeloaders figured out.

Hospitals don’t have a choice, when someone comes in and needs care, they can’t just cart them out and lay them on the sidewalk.
