Horror of horrors; more people will get treated if they get sick or injured, but that will result in, according to AP: "Health overhaul may mean longer ER waits, crowding."
Instead of "THE MARKET" changing and finding creative, profitable ways to take everyone in, we're paralyzed like a deer in headlights. What should be good news is given this bizarre ominous spin:
Big surprise? Not if you looked squarely at the research:
It's called DEMAND. It's called MARKET FORCES! Build it, they will come.
Instead of "THE MARKET" changing and finding creative, profitable ways to take everyone in, we're paralyzed like a deer in headlights. What should be good news is given this bizarre ominous spin:
Rand Corp. researcher Dr. Arthur Kellermann predicts: "More people will have coverage and will be less afraid to go to the emergency department if they're sick or hurt and have nowhere else to go.... We just don't have other places in the system for these folks to go."
Big surprise? Not if you looked squarely at the research:
The biggest users of emergency rooms by far are Medicaid recipients. And the new health insurance law will increase their ranks by about 16 million. ERs are already crowded and hospitals are just now finding solutions.What happened to the idea, "THE MARKET" will decide. Keep in mind, this is similar to the other anti-health care reform warning that "we don't having enough family doctors"-general practitioners. Demand will simply create an influx of new doctors filling the public and private need. Short term shortage, long term gain.
It's called DEMAND. It's called MARKET FORCES! Build it, they will come.
