EggplantParm 04/11/17 10:01:47 PM #27:	monkmith posted... why is there a general assumption that people without health care in this country don't go to the ER? the wait time isn't going to go up with universal health care, it has the potential to go down because those without insurance wouldn't be forced to hang out in the ER for hours for "free" service when they could instead go to a general practice doctor and get preventive health care. Because uninsured people do avoid the ER due to lack of insurance. I'd like to see some numbers to back both that and the assertion that many ER visitors could have avoided the ER with preventative care. --- http://i.imgur.com/vStAH0d.jpg say amen or u heartless <cite>EggplantParm posted [p:877019609] in Can someon...
