re: The insanity of the socialization of our medical care

If they would allow a co-pay with ER visits for Medicaid patients, that would eliminate this nonsense. However, I understand why they don't do a co-pay for legit visits. Back in my day with had a fast track area for this type patient. Didn't eliminate all of the costs but it kept them from tying up limited "true" emergency beds. We were a Level 1 trauma center so this kind of crap tied up valuable resources.
