The world*

The governor has also been using state funds to pay overtime to have more cops in the subway system since the election so.

Edit: Downvoting facts lol.

Yep, she went with what actual NYers want and not what the very loud “activists” and fringe groups want.

85% of NYers support more police on the subway, despite what the very loud fringe groups seem to think is what people want.

Every other major crime besides shootings are up pretty significantly year over year.

For anyone keeping track, felony assaults are back at about the year 2000 levels. We are back to pre 9/11 felony assault rates. Definitely something to be proud of as someone who was born and raised here!

Grand larceny’s are also at pre 9/11 levels.

The Reddit “holier than thou” crowd is displaced from reality.

People already treat ambulances like taxis, too late. Ask anyone that works in an ER or any EMS worker.

My point is it’s not exclusively “rich” people that get perceived special treatment.

A “pro-tip” for anyone concerned with preferential treatment in the ER. Take an ambulance, regardless of your symptoms, the priory is to get the EMS crew back on the street and you’ll be given a spot quicker than someone in the waiting room who has the same symptoms as you.

Realistically, nothings going to change. Anyone who’s worked in a hospital knows about “board members” and “trustees”.

How many lives do you think the $300 million he donated saved? How many underprivileged people were able to go to NYU medical school tuition free Due to his donations? It’s okay if he gets a private room and skips a couple of equal acuity cases in the ct scan line.

Where in this article does it say that someone died because a VIP was in a private room?

Except that doesn’t happen.

Yea, that doesn’t happen. You’ve clearly never worked in an ER.

It’s literally law, you cannot turned away from an ER for any reason. You should look into EMTALA. You’ve also clearly never worked in healthcare.

Meant to put AFTER.

Hospital ERs aren’t allowed to turn patients away for any reason, including insurance type and ability to pay.

You’re not, and it does happen everywhere. Same for employees of the hospital. If you work there and you’re waiting for a cat scan and you know the tech you just call them and tell them you’re a patient and you’ll be next AFTER someone who is actively dying/having a stroke. This really isn’t news.

I second Zocdoc. I’ve gotten appts with specialists the next day.

You should run for office!

Yea, I think it’s reasonable that he can cut the line of the skell who’s there because they have toe pain for 3 months.

Everyone gets triaged and everything is documented electronically. If someone was on deaths door and it was documented as such and the hospital got sued/audited it would be a major issue.

This is nothing new, every hospital that has a board of trustees and donors do the same thing. Regardless every patients gets triaged, and if they’re truly critical they’ll get seen just as quick. Maybe not in a “special room” but that’s not really important when you’re dying.

Unironically, there are tons of city jobs open that can lift people out of poverty and have less of a reliance on government assistance.

Irrelevant to NYC tax payers supporting migrants.

Go to any other first would country and proclaim that and see if they welcome you in and provide significant social services just because “no human is illegal”
