The link you provided doesn't say anything about ERs, much less ER profits. I can't imagine this patient with the severe genetic disorder is getting much of his $1M/month health care treatment in the emergency room.
- limeblack 9y agoA more common example are blood clot disorders. Literally a door or ball hitting a person can cause major life threatening issues and are incredibly expensive depending on the type of disorder. That is the most common situation at his healthcare system. Someone with a rare disorder has been been dubbed internally as the million dollar man because of this. In this case the man has been on and off insurance and has come to their healthcare system's ER multiple times. Edit: The media only publishes the most extreme examples so I wasn't left with many options.
