yep , primary care for primary care problems is a big solution to our broken health care system.
Many people without insurance will go to the ER for a cold because they know they will be seen without asking for immediate payment. Other patients have a mild issue that they could get primary care for but wait until its very serious and a trip to the ER is needed. This is costly and bad for the health system at large. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judah McAuley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2008 2:10 PM Subject: Re: Feminist on Palin.
