You're doing better than our local hospital. It called 911 to get help from EMTs. It's being managed to maximize profits.

County hospital😬

[@gpop7911]

American health care, should be free to everyone. The amount of taxpayers money wasted on foreign countries would pay for it.

Valley Med aka Death Valley

[@alexblazquez2277]

This is not an accident, it is intentional. And people keep voting for it.

40% of Americans are obese. More fat people = more people going to the doctor. Feel free to fat shame.

So my born about of April 26 2002 of 20 years ago.

Here in Tucson I have waited 6 months to see a vascular surgeon for a diagnosis of PAD and calcific tendonitis. But lucky me, I'm retired on Medicare. Healthcare is broken in this country. Let's open our borders to surgeons everywhere, to come here and make the big bucks.

The Tea never stopped transmission and you fired those people for no reason whatsoever and ruined their lives.

[@karuneshkaimal]

[@middleguy1776]

Still want universal healthcare?

[@tt-bo7px]

Can we discuss red blanket patients? They get rooms made for them and extra care....oh wait, we poor.

What did you expect when illegal aliens are given the right to medical aid at hospitals via state law?

[@lsgrosieh]

Just made a similar comment! 100% TRUE!

[@HiThisIsMine]

Yea, when you walk into a private hospital, all you see are illegals everywhere. You can tell they’re illegal because of the color of their skin. 😏 You’ve been fed too much propaganda. You do realize that only LEGAL documented immigrants qualify for assistance programs and even then, most of them can only afford low end coverage… not at a hospital like the one in the video. Do some research before you parrot Tucker Carlson and the rest of the morning show.

[@lsgrosieh]

@@HiThisIsMine I know because they don't even know English! What does that say? Use common sense if you have any which I doubt!

[@lsgrosieh]

@@HiThisIsMine No brain cells?🤣

[@lsgrosieh]

@@HiThisIsMine Valley med is NOT private. Wow! You are commenting without knowing anything. Poor you!

[@lsgrosieh]

Because ille gals have priority! Even Brandon admitted it!

[@aaizner847]

Bullshit

[@Jnthncrrll]

OH YOU SHUT UP, ROSIE THE TRUMPSTER FREAK AND STOP CALLING PRESIDENT BIDEN "BRANDON"!!!!! BECAUSE PRESIDENT BIDEN'S FIRST NAME IS NOT BRANDON, PRESIDENT BIDEN'S FIRST NAME IS JOSEPH AND PRESIDENT BIDEN NEVER ADMITTED IT, TRUMP ADMITTED IT!!!!!

[@giftedgreen2152]

Don’t get fat. Problem solved.
