Sylvia Rangel, assistant director of La Paz de Dios, said the demand for health care has increased considerably in a very short period of time.
"There are services and programs out there to help the Hispanic community, but because of the high demand these services are saturated," she said in Spanish."

As usual the AMA and the state medical groups are a day late and a dollar short.
There are plenty of well trained Spanish speaking doctors here in America driving cabs and teaching school who could be pressed into service to treat these people at a fraction of the cost of regular licensed practitioners.
This is such a sad situation for Americans. I believe that the less Government control, the better.
But, our Government is number one in the line of duty to protect our country from invasion. It has miserably failed in this promise (Oath of Office, Constitution) and now the states are being forced to take the matter into their own hands.
Emergency rooms are being shut down daily, because they can no longer afford to carry the illegal influx.
I had to go to ‘Urgent Care’ this past year - and the place was full of non-English speaking Latino patients. When the doc finally came to attend to my wound, I asked him who is covering the cost of all those before me? His answer, “You are. I am. We all are. Tax dollar and Medicaid.” He then said that Med schools are in serious trouble; the student population is dramatically dropping. BUT, he also said that PA (Physician Assistant) classes are full.
Hospitals are being forced to close - ERs are being shut down. Medical and nursing care has reached rock bottom.
This isn’t happening only in TN - it is a national nightmare.
So this is why healhcare costs in Mexico are low, they sent their patients to Tennessee for the stupid Yankees to care for them.
Maybe someone should ask AMNESTY McPain about this? Wouldn’t they have been better off in the Chucklebee’s Arkasas?
Deport ... it’s the best healthcare can do.
I cannot say what I am thinking. It will get deleted.
Why are we letting these people invade our country?
Why doesn't Mexico take care of its own people? Why don't the ultra-wealthy Mexican elites help to pay for the health care and education etc of their own poor? Why do they instead encourage their poor to leave Mexico and invade the United States? Nature provides a parallel that is instructive.
Some species of birds thrive not by carefully rearing their own young, but by pawning that task off on adults of other species. The European Cuckoo, whose distinctive call is immortalized in the sound of the "cuckoo clock," is the bird in which this habit has been most thoroughly studied. Female European Cuckoos lay their eggs only in the nests of other species of birds. A cuckoo egg usually closely mimics the eggs of the host (one of whose eggs is often removed by the cuckoo).
The host may recognize the intruding egg and abandon the nest, or it may incubate and hatch the cuckoo egg. Shortly after hatching, the young European Cuckoo, using a scoop-like depression on its back, instinctively shoves over the edge of the nest any solid object that it contacts. With the disappearance of their eggs and rightful young, the foster parents are free to devote all of their care to the young cuckoo. Frequently this is an awesome task, since the cuckoo chick often grows much larger than the host adults long before it can care for itself. One of the tragicomic scenes in nature is a pair of small foster parents working like Sisyphus to keep up with the voracious appetite of an outsized young cuckoo.
