This is all too true. People go to the ER with the sniffles because they know that they cannot be turned away. My wife broke her hip and we got to the ER around6:00PM and got out the next AM around 7:00A. THe ER was wall to wall people who sat around joking and playing with their cell phones and walking outside for a smoke.Yes the present system is fucked up and there do need to be changes and I am not smart enough to solver the problem but it can be done. Maybe doctors rather than politicians could think of something.
