Because most of them do not or have never contributed to the system anyway. There is your answer. You are taxing the sucker who is above the poverty line and is not in a privileged job.From personal experience, I've found it's a lot more. The ER is often the fastest and surest way to get a diagnosis. Of course a lot depends on your health history and age.Illegals don’t get healthcare in America?Like the millions of illegals who get healthcare in America? They’re all RICH!
They do not get healthcare. I do not know why you want to continue with something you know is false. They can access emergency care.
Youre a friggen troll
The ER is not at all sufficient health care.
It is just for stitches, setting fractures, etc.
Get an appointment with your GP and you get some pills, maybe a few tests and suggestions and if the pain isn't better in two weeks you come back. He goes over test results and if the pain is still there you see a specialist in a few weeks. The specialist then orders more blood tests an EKG, and an MRI which takes about two weeks more to get all the appointments and results back to your doctor. Hopefully then you will get a diagnosis and treatment plan.
In the ER, the blood tests, EKG, and MRI are all ordered and results are back in a few hours. Your attending physician discusses your case with a specialist and you have a diagnosis. A tentative treatment plan is created and you are sent home with medication or to the hospital. What took 6 weeks out of the ER is often accomplished in a few hour in the ER.
This is one of the reason we over utilize the ER.
We over utilize the E.R. because that is the only way thousands of people can afford treatment. That is, they don't have to pay up front. When all of these people get treated at an E.R. they do not pay the bill. Those with insurance pay their bill.
Why would you be against a system that would make them contribute to the system?
I've asked this 4-5 times now and no one answered.
