I have a friend who is a OB nurse at a local hospital. She tells me all the time about pregnant women who come into the ER via ambulance because they 'don't feel well'. One even came by ambulance because she stubbed her toe and was afraid the pain would have an adverse reaction to the baby. After years of this, she finds herself treating them with disdain because she knows she's paying for the ambulance ride and exorbitant ER bills.
She's now going back to school for midwifery in hopes of not having to deal with this nonsense.

Great article! But the woman giving toys and coloring books to kids in the emergency room is helping to spread germs....she’ll probably get sued for being nice.
I do wish all the liberal voters would read this. But they won’t. Too close minded.

I experienced this 9 years ago. Took my wife to the emergency room. There were about a hundred people waiting. Most were Hispanic. The nurse told my wife that none of them have insurance and it will all be free. We left and went to a minor emergency clinic and paid cash.
Supposedly obamacare is going to change this. Yeah, right.

The ones who have the greatest compassion for the underclass, are generally those who have little or no contact or interaction with them.
As the article points out, the best way to cure liberalism is to provide a few months of stark reality.

I just shake my head.
At the liberal...I'm past the point I feel any compassion. Not only has she served in the army that made this possible, she's undoubtedly criticized those who knew better. So she has a lot to atone for.
Besides, everything she thinks she knows, she learned in school. I suppose we should be grateful she figured out anything at all.

Only by attempting to remove the stigma attached to seeking free healthcare via the ER process...

My Mom has a police scanner and we will play card and board games and leave it in the background. One night an ambulance was dispatched because one of the check drawers had had diarrhea all day long and decided she needed to go to the ER.
A month or so later we were listening and an ambulance was dispatched because one of the parasite’s hemorrhoids were bothering him and he needed to go to the ER.
The Medicaid dregs are a drag on humanity.

The ER crew from the register person, to the nurses and doctors calls them "Frequent Flyers".
My wife worked the ER as a register person years ago in an exurb hospital. They were mostly white and had issues with drug and alcohol. The cops would drop them off there and get them out of their hands.
Sometimes security had to called in to put them in a straight jacket, if it got out of hand. I could just imagine the scene would be if they brought in an "endangered species" inner city type person with special rights with an attitude.

Guarantee the diarrhea and hemorrhoids are a direct result of the government cheese. Yet another example of how we create our own problems.
