>> It is a clinic that everyone with insurance pays for........you cannot refuse treatment for a patients coming to the ER, FYI......BTW,over 20% of hospital admissions come from the ER....... I think any physician would know that an Emergency Dept may refuse treatment after an initial screening to determine whether an emergency condition exists. If I show up at your Emergency Dept you would know that if I merely have a minor head cold I would be sent on my way without a bit of treatment if I'm unable to pay for it. ON this basis, one can only conclude that you are not a physician as you have claimed, or a damned horrible one otherwise. Back to the point, however -- the argument of the Left has been that patients showing up at ERs for treatment of non-emergency issues imposes a tremendous cost on the system. You claim to understand the economics so I asked an economics question: Why not shut down the ER open a clinic which offers less expensive treatment?
