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.”

As sad as this is for NY, this is happening in communities across the country - it is just not getting the media attention it deserves. It was a great idea for governors of border states to start bussing to sanctuary cities in blue states. It got the attention it deserves. Of course, the Federal government is also responsible for bussing/flying the invaders into the NYC area.
Battle flags or White flags, America ?
Wonder why hospital bills are so astronomical? Make everybody else pay more to cover the costs of “free” healthcare.

Yep. I live in a small rust-belt town. I’ve been seeing a few Mexican/Central America types lately. But what really concerns me are the Muslims. I never saw any Muslims before. I’m seeing them now.
Now here’s the thing. The Mexican/Central American folks *might* assimilate over time. The Muslims most certainly will not.
Something really bad is going on here.
Maybe they’ll shut the border down for two weeks to flatten the curve.
Señor Doctor, me and my extended family have need of surgeries we couldn’t afford in Meh-hee-co. We would like to be admitted now.
Not just here.
In every western nation with a Deep State in control.
There is a reason most of the Emergency Rooms closed in SoCal a long time ago and still remain closed.
Hint, it isn’t because of them being over run by Illegal Aliens, even though that was the cause.
Send more now.
Millions to Vah-mahnt, Maine, New HAHMP-sher, Noo Yawk, Noo Joisey; all the places where the arrogant phonies live.
Millions and millions. Let them become what they forced on us here in the West by electing the Rat trash to the Congress for the last 50 years.
Right now there are two, elderly illegal alien women, living in Rockdale Hospital, in Rockdale County, Ga. They came get rid of them.
There was a video floating around YouTube of a nurse addressing congress over the cost of care. She details hospital hills in the millions. She added that the hospital was paying someone to find out where these people came from and they would them fly them back home to their family.
Wait til the flu season hits hard this winter. Gonna be a nightmare.
Hah!! The Yuma Regional Medical Center has been reporting this problem for a year or two now and has been largely ignored by the media.
I wonder how Texas hospitals are doing.
About 300 new babies
Gee … That’s a shame. Welcome to Bidenomics, New York. You got what you voted for.
Embrace the suck
AZ, NM, CA, TX and FL have been dealing with this for 40 years.
So, as a NYSer, what do you do, now?
TOLL PAID by New York voters.
Hope it gets so bad voting residents can’t get care.
They deserve it.
Nobody in NYC ever says, “Maybe we should send them back where they came from!”
Excellent!
Couldn't happen to a nicer City!
A nice big wall around New York City would enhance the experience.
This is becoming a Good News Day.
