I think the "abuse" of the ER she refers to is the
type of complaint that is ridiculously
minor, not the fact that they couldn't be treated elsewhere because of lack of money or insurance.
Honest, thinking people often don't know that ER's have a large portion of scammers who call it an "emergency" when they have something that literally, a school nurse would put a band-aid on or give 2 Tylenol for it.
But when you're not going to pay the bill, why be concerned about what's a "true" emergency?
