The real "why" is why do hospitals maintain an ER in the first place?

They lose money, they are a liability headache, they are a huge security problem. There's no law saying a hospital HAS to have an ER. I don't know why they all don't close.

Exactly, and they won't tell you either, because it's not popular within the healthcare establishment to talk about the fact that you can't keep hospitals and emergency rooms in business if there aren't very many doctors in your community to provide healthcare services or to staff emergency rooms.

The health system said a consulting firm found that nearly two-thirds of the emergency room patients at Memorial and Centinela were treated for non-life-threatening conditions.

Well, that didn't help.
