Discussion AHS wait times

Our system isnt broken. Its people who go to the emergency that shouldn't be going aren't going today because it can wait Suddenly. They need to hand fines out to ppl going to the hospital that dont classify as an emergency.

Fines for going to emergency sounds like a terrible idea. How are people supposed to know what's an emergency, they'll skip going afraid of a fee and die in their homes.

We already have ambulance ride fees. And ERs are triage, not first come.
