Next, Lex connects the dots between incidents of patient dumping and the gutting of the American social safety net. "When you defund social programs, it all ends up in the ER.

When you defund senior care, when you defund psychiatric care, when you defund shelters, whether it's homeless shelters or women's shelters."

"When you defund the safety nets that our society needs to prevent people from beginning a crisis, a downward spiral, they end up in the ER and simply put, ER workers and hospital workers are already at their #$@& wit's end.

We cannot act as a catch all for every single issue in society, and yet, we are here we are doing it. And at the very $&@# same time, treating people like literal $&@# garbage should never $&@# happen."

Finally, Lex urges our country to start putting money back into social services. "The only way to fix situations as unethical and disgusting as this from happening is to fund solutions. We need to fund proper safety nets for our society.

In this country, if you lose your job, you lose your health insurance, you potentially lose all of your income, which means you're not going to be able to pay rent. Well, then what happens if you get sick? Do you see what I'm saying?

We don't have safety nets for our poor in this country. We have a greased chute, and at the very bottom of that greased chute of poverty is a trip to your local emergency room because everything ends up in the ER and then we have nowhere to place people."

"There are solutions for these problems, but they cost money. They cost money. And we as a society have said that we're A-okay with 400 people having 70% of the nation's wealth while our community members get treated like this."
