People are seeing significantly longer wait times for hospitals, especially where there's a lot of illegal immigration that's been going on. When I was in Yuma, Arizona, they were talking, the wait times have went up. The deficit. The hospital is running in Yuma, Arizona, at this point, this was over a year ago, is like $15 million a year. And they said it was all because of uncompensated care with illegal immigrants. So people can't get appointments to be able to get their health care taken care of. Their schools, in some cases are overrun. They have second English language learners. (32:21–32:32)
