De Blasio and his city management skills

And I promise to do for your country what I did to New York!

New York City’s ICU bed capacity ranks in bottom quarter nationally

The Big Apple’s intensive-care bed capacity of about 2.7 per 10,000 residents over the age of 15 — 1,800 beds total — ranks No. 220 on a list of 305 US hospital regions studied by The Washington Post and Columbia University Professor Adam Sacarny.

New Orleans, Chicago, Fort Lauderdale, Baltimore, Nashville, Las Vegas and Detroit all have more ICU beds per capita than New York City.

Eastern Long Island, Anchorage and Palm Springs are even worse-off than NYC, according to 2016-2018 data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.

Statewide, Albany is the only medical region with less ICU bed capacity than New York City, with 2.4/10,000.

The best place to get critically ill? The town of Slidell in Louisiana, outside New Orleans, with 11 ICU beds per 10,000 residents.

The worst, Fort Collins, Colorado, with only 1.

So what did De Blasio spend the city’s money on if not hospital beds (and ventilators)? Well, there was the billion dollars he poured down the rat hole he called his “Renewal Education Reform”, an effort now abandoned, and his “co-mayor” wife claims to have spent $850 million on her own “Thrive” program, intended to care for the homeless and mentally ill. Mind you, neither she nor the city’s auditors can explain or locate where that money actually went, but we know one thing: it didn’t go into strengthening the city’s health care system.
