Valley Baptist Medical Center (VBMC) in Brownsville is the old Mercy Hospital. Very good hospital.
Fantastic hospital.
Trey “Da GaY” Mendezz …. Starts filling out the application
The state of healthcare in Brownsville is deplorable. 3rd. World level. Especially the hospitals.
More hospitals are closing than opening. Last year they expected it to be a 100 if Trump is elected, then after Trump's election 338, now it's over 700 hospitals nationally. Those seeking emergency care will have to travel 30 minutes to an hour to get seen for a medical emergency. This according to most organizations who advocate for patient care. Most hospital closures will be small hospitals with under 25 beds, they expect 26 of these hospitals to close here in Texas. Im not sure but after TACO'S BBB passes expect more hospitals closures.
Think Abbott will do anything? If he doesn't care about kids food programs what makes people think he cares? You should believe people when they tell you who they are.
This grant means nothing to me. Give it to a Starbase or Elon Musk he needs it. He's down over a 100 billion. If we can't save the poor, let's save the rich.
Quit you're whining. If you have kids expect to provide for them. Don't be dependent on the taxpayers. The problem with democrats is that they have been accustomed for decades to be dependent on the government for assistance. This is what is referred to as big government. All these social programs should have ended back in 1939 after the great depression. All social service programs should end for abled body citizens. Let’s help those really in need like the elderly and people with disability. All you lazy useless citizens should get to work.
8:18 if you pay into something, would you expect to get something in return for what you paid for? If you paid into social security all these years and they magically told you, “hey sorry you’re not getting anything” would you be mad? I hope you’d get mad because that’s exactly how these social programs work all whilst providing jobs to professionals. Same principle goes into play with these families that utilize social programs, their parent pays taxes, they receive a service. Sorry you don’t understand taxes further than surface level, it’s sad you think the way you do. Must be nice still living in your mom’s house. Oh wait you don’t pay taxes. I understand your ignorance now.
8:18 AM Sir, El Bracito me duelle y tengo bone spurs. I'm sorry you suffer from "956 ALV Fatigue!" Ve con dios, que te quite el racismo.
