[FRIAM] [[Narcissism Again]again]

[Owen Densmore]

Just a thought: Don't emergency rooms have to treat anyone who walks
through the door?

I recall seeing a *lot* of that when my mom-in-law was in the hospital.
These were folks with fairly minor problems like a rash or the flu. And I'm
delighted they got care.

So all minimizing ACA will do is up the federal dollars going to hospitals,
right?
