The best is the Medicaid patients that go to the ER 15 times a year


People who are out of touch with the expense of healthcare do this shite. My ex-wife was like that - she always had insurance paid by someone else and never paid attention to deductibles, etc. Kid gets sick - immediately off to ER. Her tune changed when she started footing the bill directly.

Actually the problem is the people who go to the ER and don’t pay anything - that’s what’s crushing the hospitals

Medicaid pays something insurance pays something it’s the ones who don’t pay anything is what drives the costs up
