Hospitals will have to eat the cost.  It is projected that by 2024, a third of the uninsured will be non-citizens.  They will go to the local emergency departments, of course, and can't be turned away.  They may be hospitalized.  And the costs will be borne by the hospital, passed down to patients with insurance when possible.  Ultimately, we all pay.

Woke is infiltrating medicine.  The NEJM featured an editorial written by people in the Univ of California system, that advocates for segregated learning.  They call the segregated groups RAGCs.

Man, that's a LOT of fentanyl.  And I'd bet he's just one of many
