From working in and around EDs, I highly doubt any ED is purposefully taking up beds with low acuity cases for revenue. Most EDs are swamped constantly and will tell you to go to Urgent Care because their halls are already filled with boarders waiting for inpatient beds.

They aren't separate to do patients any favors! Any hospital built in the last 20 years that has a MOB on site probably has a pretty similar setup.
