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.

every canadian on this board claims its free. maybe you should start with those people. its "free" here in california too making it impossible to get treated at the emergency room. they attempted to charge here once but no one paid. if you're on welfare chances are you wont pay the $5-10. they cant turn you away so where do they go from there?
