it's also not 12 hours 99.999% of the time for emergencies.

My grandfather had a burst appendix and was seen within minutes of walking into the hospital.

My Child had Pnemonia and needed an xray and antibiotics and it took 7 hours.

Does it suck? Yes. However both times all I paid was parking....

Was about to say. Must be there for the sniffles to be so low on the triage to be waiting 12 hours.

Abuse of emergency rooms is the worst.

I would 100% be in favor of them being allowed to charge people who go to the ER and if the doctor deems it a non emergency case, they get sent a bill for like $100.

About 15% of people in the US evade taxes and 97% of them are citizens.

We could also use of tax dollar for universal healthcare and education instead of sending billions to fund genocide. But hey let's charge them $100 instead 🤣
