Again, precisely the opposite of what the Democrats claimed those opposed to Obamacare warned of...all of us "liars", per the left, of course.

Totally unexpected. /s

Took my wife to the ER because of chest pains, a precaution insisted by our insurance. After sitting for three hours waiting my Wife had enough and told me to take her home because the ER was more aggravating than anything. Anyone that says the undocumented don’t use the ER for minor medical issues is full of the stuff that comes out of obama’s mouth.

Obama has the inverse midas touch, everything he gets a hold of turns to &h*t.

ERs in southern California have close over the years due to this very phenomenon.

Course, to make the Lib’s heads explode, just ask: Now that ‘everyone’ has healthcare (ala OCare), they would support the repeal of making hospitals take any/all patients regardless of ability to pay?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Medicaid. Hey! It’s free! Might as well use it often. It don’t cost nuthin’.

[blue state conservative]

Exactly right. The liberal crapola coming from the LA Times and the New York Times during to help pass Obamacare was that emergency rooms would be less crowded because the newly insured would now be getting preventive care and would not be going to the emergency rooms for routine care. Those of us in the common sense community called BS on that right away but of course our voices were drowned out by all the media cheerleading.

Hospitals struggle with increasing number of "non-emergency" ER visits

There's no reason for to tie up the ER, they simply need to triage, and send the "non-emergency" patients down the hall to a union thug nurse practitioner.

"Sorry, I'm going on break...you'll just have to wait."

[Ken H]

Who could have possibly guessed this would happen?

[cherry]

the non urgent "problems" that people bring in to the ER would be laughable if not so upsetting....diarrhea that the patient has had for 4 yrs but decides on a Friday night to come to the ER....

the "back" aches seeking hydro's or better yet, oxy's....when they tell you that they're "allergic" to all nsaids(motrin,aleve, etc_) you know they're just seeking narcs...

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Just saw this on another forum. Don’t really know what to make of it.

I worked in an ER in Pocatello, ID pre-owebamacare 2006-2009. This is nothing new except there are more pathetic losers on Medicaid now.

There is nothing more disturbing than subsidizing a permanent underclass of Americans who are too stupid to take care of themselves so that they will vote demoncrat. Except maybe importing a whole new underclass of non-Americans to do the same damn thing!

Oh the lies they tell...guess they missed this dozy from the other day...
