I don't think they should be in the emergancy room. i think the emergancy room should be able to send people the emergacy clinic down the road unless it is really life threatening which is the purpose of an emergancy room.
government caused that problem along with the other majority of problems with our heatlhcare and you think by turning it over to the people that have screwed it up is going to fix it.
the logic is simply not there.
healthcare is screwed up because it is an essential service with inelastic demand that is being artificially bottlenecked. add in geographic immediacy, and it becomes so efficient that looking at other healthcare distribution systems is the only logical move.
you'll notice that few who live in countries with single payer are arguing to get rid of it and replace it with the American system. there's a pretty good reason for that.
