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.”

CA just banned hand counts of ballots for the same reason.
CA wouldn’t vote for it, either.
Yuck it up.
NYS doesn’t have the money.

Gonna pay no matter what, just as long as the right people feel the pain.
Well, at lease these illegal immigrants were screened for infectious diseases before they were allowed to enter the country.
Oh, wait. The weren’t screened at all.
So I fear the overcrowding of hospitals is gonna get worse, much worse.

As long as Deep State is in control, the right people will never feel the pain.
That’s just for the hoi polloi.
