No. As this trend continues, ER.visits, triaged for urgency, will be days long for things like ear infections.
And ERs will run out of funding. It is not free health care. Someone is paying or giving free services, and that will not continue for too long
Whoever inherits this mess will either stop printing Monopoly money and fix the problem or they’ll continue throwing government ( political) money at it, devaluing all of it
But access to health care requires doctors Anyone reporting on the collapse of enrollment index schools?
Actually, Medicaid will pay something as opposed to what ER’s normally get from the deadbeat class. I’ve worked in an ER. They delay treatment for non-ER cases unless they arrive in an ambulance.
BTW ambulance rides are free for Medicaid patients.
