I can tell you why. Their health is not a priority for them, so they don't have insurance or doctors. They prefer to spend their money on wants rather than needs. They depend on the ER's for their care. Hospital ER's have to treat, regardless of the ability to pay; Urgent Care facilities do not. The Villages Hospital has an Urgent Care facility. I asked one time why non-emergency cannot be sent over there. That's when they told me that they have to take them, but Urgent Care does not.
