One of the more measurable costs of a high population of uninsured, illegal aliens is increased loading on Emergency Rooms and Doc-in-Box healthcare providers.
In just one city, Denver, a $70 million hole appeared in their budget. Pundits identified heavy use of Emergency Rooms by illegal aliens as the primary driver of that funding shortfall.
Emergency Rooms are a VERY expensive way to deliver medicine. The patient usually arrives with no history so a broad array of diagnostic testing is ordered and since it is by default an EMERGENCY, timing is compressed.
It would be interesting to see if Emergency Room wait-times improved from 2024-to-2025 with the self-deportation of one million undocumented migrants. Measuring budget performance usually lags by at least three months but hospitals now measure "average wait" in Emergency Rooms in real-time.
Terrorizing?
Apparently, this woman is an "influencer" who eats in swanky restaurants and then "dashes" without paying.
Since she lives in a city that depends on tourism, her antics enrage the restaurants. If she slags them in a review, they lose business. If her followers copy her practice not paying, they go out of business.
The legal system is too slow and cumbersome to deal with this little ball of slime.
Suddenly, there are people in uber-blue cities who are cheering ICE. It appears that she is "an undocumented immigrant" and can be deported.

City people!
Selective indignation! Is that a sure sign of being woke?
ReplyDelete"woke" a term for mental illness.
ReplyDeleteFunny not funny how fast the rich liberals in Martha's Vineyard got rid of their "illegal aliens" using the military and police under President Biden to a military base.

And the fancy logic they used to make it "ok".
Is America past its "best by date"?
"a broad array of diagnostic testing is ordered" this is to prevent malpractice lawsuits.
ReplyDeleteI would be interested in the question of budgets and wait times as well, ERJ. That said, I wonder if we will ever see those numbers.
ReplyDeleteIt's all manipulated. ERs will put a NP/PA in triage so the "door-to-doc" time is minimal, say 2-5 minutes (you can see these numbers on billboards, usually on highways, at least in TX). That does NOT mean your wait time is 5 minutes. Press-Ganey and social media has done a TREMENDOUS damage to ERs and UCs (urgent care). Especially since some insurance companies pay based off Press-Ganey (look it up).
DeleteRe: illegals using ERs, it's also people without insurance. EMTALA (look it up) was designed to save lives but has created a monster. Registration isn't allowed to even discuss finances with you until you've had a MSE (medical screening exam) to determine if an emergency exists. Once no emergency is determined, they can require payment all day long...... but I refer you back to Press-Ganey and social media above.
There ARE solutions but will require stones to implement. From someone who's been in the trenches since 1981.
She's a thief & she makes a living (Influencer) bragging about it out in the public.
ReplyDeletePeople in many ways are like rats. Crowd too many of them in too small a space and both species exhibit sociopathic behaviors with many literally going insane. Cities are too people what an over crowded habitat is to rodents.

Sure is useful to know what "our betters" think is a problem, and what they do not think is a (their) problem.
She’s a bit cute, pimp her out until she’s earned enough to make the restaurateurs whole and then send her home.
