Yes, I understand, they go to the ER when they have an emergency condition. You can be awfully sick without having an emergency.
For example, an ulcer. They don’t have to treat your ulcer until it tears a hole in your stomach. Then they will have a look at it.

For example, a sore that won’t heal on your foot because you have diabetes. When the gangrene climbs up your leg, they’ll take care of it.

For example, if you have a neurological disorder and you keep choking on things you swallow, they’ll take care of you when you’re choking, but not before.

They don’t treat cancer, depression, heart disease...until it’s an emergency.

The moochers are getting a lot of free rides from the taxpayers, that is true. But poverty still shortens lives, and this constant claim of free medical care for the poor is utter nonsense.

No, you can go to the ER for any condition at all. In hospitals around here people go in for colds and flus.
