Cost of Open Borders: Yuma Hospital Forked Over Around $20M in ‘uncompensated’ Care for ILLEGALS; Yuma Hospital CEO: ‘Open’ Border Is Draining Us, We’ve Given out $20 Million in Uncompensated Care to Migrants in Six Months

Cost of open borders: Yuma hospital forked over around $20M in ‘uncompensated’ care for illegals:

The cost of the Biden administration’s open border policy has to be incalculable, not that they even bother to acknowledge the fact, let alone address it. Incredibly, though, the situation has escalated to the point that even NBC News is now covering it.

“There have been more than 300,000 illegal border crossings in the area around Yuma. That’s three times the city’s entire population of nearly 100,000. It’s an all-time record,” national correspondent Gabe Gutierrez reported.

“The only hospital here estimates that, over six months, it’s doled out $20 million in uncompensated medical care to migrants,” he added.

Robert Trenschel, CEO of Yuma Regional Medical Center, was granted a soundbite in the 2-minute story.

“We have to stop that border flow. If you’re going to have the borders open like they are, then there has to be a payment source for these individuals.”

Douglas Nicholls, mayor of Yuma agreed that the situation is simply not sustainable.

“It’s not sustainable. I definitely do consider this a crisis. It’s a situation where numbers are multiple times higher than anywhere else in history,” said Mayor Nicholls. --->READ MORE HERE

During a portion of an interview with NBC News aired on Friday’s broadcast of “NBC Nightly News,” Yuma Regional Medical Center President CEO Dr. Robert Trenschel stated that the flow of people over the border has to be stopped because providing uncompensated care to migrants is draining the hospital of resources and that if the borders are going to be “open like they are, then there has to be a payment source for these individuals.”

During a report on the migrant situation in Yuma, AZ, NBC News National Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez said that, in the last year, “there have been more than 300,000 illegal border crossings in the area around Yuma. That’s three times the city’s entire population of nearly 100,000. It’s an all-time record.”

Gutierrez added, “The only hospital here estimates that, over six months, it’s doled out $20 million in uncompensated medical care to migrants.” --->WATCH and READ MORE HERE
