The last time I went to emergency for a broken ankle I waited 3 hours and the 2 people ahead of me were there for colds, can you believe that, bloody idiots.
Yep, those people should have to pay a fee for wasting time @ emerg.

MOST of the people in the emergency room could have waited till morning to see their doctor. The only exception is little kids, they can't tell us what's wrong and you never know when a fever is something worse.

I think because our health care is paid for it gets taken for granted by some people. The perception is that it's "free" when in fact it's a very expensive health care plan paid for by high taxes.
