What's this?

Did you read in the article about the number of new recipients with acute

Healthcare needs. These people end up showing up to the hospitals to the emergency rooms when they need serious levels of healthcare and they’re not turned away, they take a place in line. And at that point, the medical bills are going to be large.
I believe supply and demand will play here. As the demand for doctors increases practices, will hire more. Doctors attract doctors from other parts of the country, And things will reach a equilibrium point. I’d rather have someone delayed a day for an office visit, then delayed a day of attention at the emergency room or hospital.
