The only way to cut down on indiscriminate ER use is to force patients to cough up some amount of co-pay.

Co-pays have to be meaningful - not too much to dissuade patients from necessary care, but enough to make them think about whether or not a trip to the emergency room versus a urgent or sick visit during office hours to a primary, an urgent care, or a walk-in clinic is worth it.
