The ER will get you to a point where they can street you and put a referral to a specialist you'll never be able to afford in your hands, and the only other treatment you get is when you go back to the ER when you die from the thing for-profit health care kept you from treating when it was treatable. Normal people aren't using the ER as a clinic and running up bills on the taxpayer dime because they know they're on the hook for it first. And medical billing and collections will find you. As someone who works in an ER I can assure there are plenty of people who treat it like a clinic. They will come in for the most mundane, non emergent issues --- Hope rides alone <cite>BlueBoy675 posted [p:979628536] in Controvers...
