ERs are expensive because of allocated overhead which must be recovered. You hav to have doctors, labs, radiology, nursing staff and facilities staffed 24/7. Whether it is used or not. So aspirin still costs 10 cents, but overhead is allocated to make it ten bucks.

Because If a Medicaid patient comes in with a heart attack you have no right to say, Sorry, you’ll have to go somewhere else. You have to take that loss and charge it to someone else.
