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."

Round the Illegal Aliens and escort them to their original country.

What the heck is so difficult about this?

Nobody has the fortitude.

The goal is to collapse the healthcare system. Then usher in an even more Socialist Medicare system. We pay through the nose, they get it for free.

The only way out is another Civil War. And it’s closer than we think.

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

We will never last another two years at this rate.

Trump had his chance to reform the Medical System and did nothing. If he had directed the DOJ to use the Anti-Trust Division and break the Medical and Insurance cartels using RICO and other things real medical cost could have come down as much as 80% and we could have reduced Medical cost as a % of GDP form 20% to 5% and solved budget and debt problems. Trump did not so it and that is a huge fail for him. So quit looking for Trump to do anything about it.

Nobody has a solution? Nobody?

I bet President Trump does, to name just one.

There is a solution for the hospital.Buy a bus. Anyone who does not have insurance bus them to the nearest free hospital.
You may have to pay for a bus and a driver but it will be far less expensive than the rest. You may need two busses.
