From my friend Leigh Bailey: " No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day." Any questions?

My experience with emergency rooms is that they triage on seriousness of complaint, not insurance status. If you can wait for hours without your health getting worse, they'll let you wait. If you need emergency care, now, you'll get it.
I used to think my local ER was a place where the average person would die of old age before they saw a doctor, but when my son was badly hurt, they took out of line for registration, straight in to the doctor, where normally they did wait in line for registration, register, wait to see a triage nurse, wait to see a doctor to diagnose the problem (say broken leg) wait for tests/x-rays, wait to see specialist who would fix the problem (put a cast on).
