> Without an alternate disincentive that problem will only get worse with this change. The ER is the only place that people can get care when they are uninsured and not wealthy. Your family doc will say no. Immediate care will say no. But the ER can't say no. People in this situation are mostly upper lower class and lower middle class who have lost their jobs or fell into an administrative crack. If you are poor, you will qualify for something to cover the cost. It's terrifying and is probably one of the best arguments for reform there is.
