You are right on. Also, what I found out from the hospital is that they HAVE to take anyone, regardless of ability to pay. Urgent Care facilities and doctors do not. I had asked them why more did not use the Urgent Cares. Apparently, this is why so many use the ER as their primary health care provider.

I, too, have nothing but good to say about them....including the ER. They have saved my husband's life on more than one occasion.
