[QUOTE="blue efficacy, post: 1113132, member: 6435"] Your knowledgeable MD and Pharmacist friends should also know that the ER is no substitute for proper medical care. The ER will put a band aid on, but they won't cure the wound. It ends up being much more costly for society as a whole because they will keep going to the ER if the condition they go for originally comes up again, because the necessary medical care to fix something long term can indeed turn away people who can't pay. People using the ER because they can't afford to use regular channels for medical care is one of the major contributors to the ballooning costs. To reemphasize, the ER exists to stabilize a patient. It is not meant to be a long term answer for anyone, and it is extremely wasteful for anyone to attempt to use it as such. However, a low income uninsured person has no choice. [/QUOTE]
