That' a broader conversation then, about making the medical system work better and be more clearly understood.

But as it actually functions and ER visit should be limited to "I might be dying, help me to not die" (heart attack, etc) or "this is something that absolutely cannot wait". I understand the concept of people not realizing that and going to the ER for every medical thing, but that's part of the problem.

And I'm in no way defending the health insurance system or anything like that. Learning to navigate it is an absolute nightmare and in the US in particular it needs improvement. But when it's your own health that you are concerned with then it's worth the hour(s) it will take to figure out how to see a regular doctor and how to insist on the treatment you need. You don't just throw up your hands and say "well the system sucks so I'm just not going to bother, I mean it's only my health we're talking about".
