All told, the health system is anticipating at least a $40 million loss this year. There’s the cost of running the clinic for migrants and the possibility more health services will be needed as this population continues to swell. The state stopped contributing money to the clinic in February. Add to that, Cook County Health is bracing for a deluge of low-income patients losing their public Medicaid health insurance and becoming uninsured, yet still needing treatment but with perhaps no way to pay.

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

The costs of the programs and funding needed for the healthcare, housing, food and education of these people is going to bankrupt the country and remove benefits and services from actual tax payers in Illinois and the United States. Biden/Harris has caused the single most destructive action in this country’s history and they are both too stupid and corrupt to know or more importantly…care. This ship called the US, needs to make an abrupt turn and quick.
The gang tats on the Mother are a nice touch.
Venezuelans, who voted to ruin Venezuela, illegally migrate to Chicago to destroy it too. This woman shows up without a penny in her pocket and demands that we feed, clothe, house and treat her and her illegitimate child. This isn’t compassionate care, these are leeches burdening an already overwhelmed healthcare system.
Its the Clower & Pivens approach, bankrupt the system to rebuild in their image.
No money for food, clothing or other life essentials but she money to get stupid hand and arm tattoos
Those tattoos likely came for free in a Caracas favela.
Hmm, that woman is married. Shouldn’t her husband be providing for his kid?
Free! Free! Free! And I don’t even have to fill out a rebate form.
No problem – Pritzker and Democrats can simply pay even less into the pension funds. Union bosses are ok.
Cloward-Piven much? The so called elected leaders of this sad state want this crises.
You took the Cloward-Piven words right out of my mouth. Exactly what the Marxists are doing to this Country.
Painful to read. Migrants get access to free health-care and medical procedures, while gainfully-employed US citizens still find themselves in financial straits over medical bills, even to file for bankruptcy, because they can’t afford their medical bills.
not once does the article mention the taxpayer?
That kid is laughing at the chumps paying for all his free stuff.
Just remember no co pays, deductibles or other pesky out of pocket costs these first class Illinoisans have to pay.
And when the doctors in the city are full, they’ll drive their unregistered vehicle with no drivers license or insurance to your suburb for care. Enjoy!
Just what the voters voted for!!!!
The fun is just beginning
BRING IT ON
More vote buying from Crook County Corruptocrats
At least she has money to get her hand tattooed.
