You can thank the pieces of shite who clog up ERs with bullshite for the costs of healthcare. None of them will pay a dime, so you will be charged more to make up for it.

Having better access to primary care would be nice. It’s a part of why people go to the ER. “I tried calling my doctors office and no one picked up.” “I’m out of my meds and no one responded to my refill request.” “I have these new symptoms and they couldn’t get me in for another four months.”

I have sympathy for stuff like that and wish there was more incentive for primary care providers to see Medicare/Medicaid patients.
