Scruffy doesn't give them anything unless warranted.

The cost of everything is ballooned in the ER. If people had to pay a small percentage for all ER visits, the non-emergent crap would be cut down.

This may be one of the reasons at EKL closing was a good thing. It forces people into those Clinics for minor shite that they shouldn't be in the ER for anyways.

was a major motivator in the ACA. get people into the MD office in the daytime and the overall system will cost less to run than if people use the ER.
