Several years ago, after learning that the Empire State’s stockpile of medical equipment had 16,000 fewer ventilators than the 18,000 New Yorkers would need in a severe pandemic, state public-health leaders came to a fork in the road...New York legislators are pushing a new law to have the cash-strapped state spend more than $500 million to provide virtually free, taxpayer-financed health care to more than 400,000 adult illegal immigrants...

Ventilators don’t reliably vote Democrat. But illegals will.
Enough said.

Get a load of our, NYS’s, budget. We’re $6+ bil in the red for a reason.

We’re willing to go into the hole for Medicaid, the Re-education Industrial Complex, public pensions and health bennies.

There’s bugger all left for anything else, including public health.

The U.S. should order ventilators from China and distribute them to Califonicate, Shiattle, and our melting pot city on the bauls of their arse.Nueva Jourk

The majority of our voters, yes.

But not the rest of us.

We’re stuck with it.

Until we leave.

By adding 400,000 more people to their health plan don’t they actually need MORE ventilators for a pandemic? So you solved one problem and actually made the other problem worse. Way to go!

These people are not very smart.

Classic Democrat bait and switch. Blow your state budget on meaningless bullshit that dosen’t fix any real problems, get free money to bail you out, then rinse and repeat...

That's why NY and CA, IL and other blue states should be called out on their "priorities".

This is not a failure of the Federal government...it's a failure of Liberal government.

Dont forget the 1 Billion spent on the now abandoned Tesla plant in Buffalo.

NYS/NYC politics are corrupt to the core
