Americans Turned Away from Virginia Hospitals Because of Influx of Afghan Evacuees
2021-09-14
[PJ] Old Joe Biden’s handlers are bringing 94,000 Afghan evacuees into the United States, at the cost of $6.4 billion of your money. The overall cost, however, may end up being even higher than that, and even the establishment media’s most committed far-Left propaganda organs are noticing. The Washington Post reported Tuesday that "[t]he mass arrival of Afghan evacuees last month, many in need of medical care, wreaked havoc on Northern Virginia’s hospital system — prompting a regional emergency response group to assume oversight after one hospital became overwhelmed with patients and federal officials lost track of where some Afghans were hospitalized, officials said."

This has involved the denial of care to Americans: "a hospital near the Dulles Expo Center that federal officials designated as a go-to spot for medical treatment began running out of available beds, forcing the hospital to turn away non-Afghan patients who weren’t in need of critical care, said Nickerson, who also directs the Northern Virginia Hospital Alliance and declined to name the hospital."

Here in a nutshell is the America-Last policy of Biden’s handlers: America’s infrastructure is crumbling, there are many people in need right here, working Americans are laboring under a tax burden that is already crushing and is about to get worse, and, as all this is going on, migrants are given priority over Americans for medical care and the American taxpayer is expected to foot the bill. "Area leaders have been asking the Biden administration to pay for the mounting cost of keeping track of the hospitalized evacuees and for giving them rides back to the Dulles Expo Center — where they have been temporarily housed — after a federal contractor took hours to retrieve some of the evacuees who were ready to be discharged." In that sentence, "Biden administration" means hardworking Americans who have jobs and work hard to support their families while also paying for the resettlement and heathcare of Afghan evacuees, among whom is an unknowable number of jihad terrorists.

#14  I remember that episode well. For awhile, "He (or she) is the Al Haig of " was a running joke in my circle about assertions of control in any realm.

#13  I'm awaiting an order from General Milley that all non-government employed residents of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, Stafford and Prince William counties immediately turn their homes over to incoming Afghans and move elsewhere until further notice.

I mean, he is in charge isn't he ?

From the Memory Hole: Al Haig and the Reagan Assassination Attempt — “I'm in control here” ... When President Ronald Reagan was shot on March 30, 1981, chaos ensued ...

#11  Losing a world war has consequences. More of this on the way to be sure. So nice of Gen Milley to unilaterally surrender to the CCP on our behalf. I'm sure he was convinced the media would treat him like a hero - and he was right!

#10  Would be interesting to set immigration up as "get the vaccine and get in immediately" and watch the uncomfortable fun.

#9   it was the unvaxed who are causing this?

As of a month ago, 1.8 million Afghans have been vaccinated against Covid out of a total population of around 39 million, according to Tolo News at the time. But the odds are good our refugee Afghans haven’t been vaccinated against anything, including polio.

#5  Do you get the feeling that American medicine is now failing as badly as American education, the American military, and American foreign policy?

#4  Where else are the refugees taking up hospital space? Coming soon to your location!

#3  But - hospitals under pressure from covid patients, because nobody is getting vaxxed. Hospitals pressured because nurses quitting or fired for failure to take the vax. Immigrants not vaxxed, probably because ... the hospitals can't take the pressure? Same for Afghans unvaxxed?

#2  But wait, I was told it was the unvaxed who are causing this? What's the next excuse they'll going to come up with.
