[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great. So the market collapses, the poor don't have insurance so go back to using the ER as a clinic and the rest of us have super inflated premiums to pick up the slack.

While the hope was that having insurance would stop people from using the ER as a clinic, those expectations were not met. It's going to take something more than insurance coverage to make it happen.[/quote]

I guess you have missed the proliferation of day clinics with the ACA and its use by, well, everyone. The ER's have been in much better shape (not anywhere close to perfect) because of the clinics and the ACA. [/quote]

I guess you've missed all the articles.
