You make some valid points about quality of care, but you are still confusing the delivery system with the quality of the practitioner. The insurance rules are often what keep getting in the way of care.

Twenty years ago, ER's were manned by specialists from all areas. Not so today...........there are now "emergency medicine" doctors with their own training and certification who at best know something about everything. But they are not specialized like orthopedic surgeons or cardiologosts. Unfortunately, they have to call in these specialists but only when they want to. Just think!........in my field of radiology half of all xrays and imaging are read by unqualified nonradiologists. Unless your ER has an attending or radiology resident on call at night or weekends, you get an ER doc to read the radiographs. Now you tell me why insuance carriers, HMO's and medicare pay nonradiologists for work only an expert trained for 4 years can do correctly.
