The Oregon Medicaid expansion research, prior to ACA, somewhat disagrees with you on that point. It showed that not only did ER numbers not go down, they actually increased in most hospitals.



I would bet it is mostly psych and not low-acuity, non-emergent stuff.

Just so happened that a surge in mental health issues and substance abuse happened around the same time.

At least that is what our hospital data suggests.

I guess I look at it like sales, the more numbers you have coming through the door, the more likely you are to have problems. I definitely agree with you, those issues exacerbate the problem.
