A new study has found that people enrolled recently in Medicaid went to the emergency room 40 percent more frequently than others, often seeking help for conditions that could be treated less expensively in a doctor's office or an urgent care clinic.

That's unexpected. Who would have guessed that when you give certain people something for "free" they would not care how much it might cost?

These folks are used to going to the emergency room for treatment. They are not in the mode of employing a doctor’s office.

LOL - yep - the only folks who don’t get it are journalists.

It’s why none of these scribes could find any examples of people being denied medical care when they were pushing for Obamacare. Our ‘poor’ were going to emergency rooms for chest colds and being charged $3,000 for 15 minutes with the doctor. Then the hospital wrote off the debt as an unpaid bill and everyone did just fine.

With Obamacare people really will die for lack of medical care, but the same idiots in the MSM who would have sold their mothers to get a story about a death caused by lack of medical care BEFORE Obamacare - will REFUSE to cover deaths after Obamacare. Eff the New York Times and Washington Post...

Hey Jonathan J. Cooper, you’re an idiot.
