I’m cool with them getting busted in exchange for being stabilized.
My area has a lot of folks using the ER as a GP, mostly homeless folks. They get free health insurance too, they just don’t want to go through the proper channels so they show up to the ER. One time I was there, one came back and threatened to sue because someone threw away his friend’s stuff that he left in the ambulance. It was a paper bag filled with garbage. That’s like 25% of our ER’s out here.
