Putting an ER in a neighborhood to this administration is "access" simply because it is a building with a door. They ignore the fact that if you can't pay for it, you will never go in.

“Access to healthcare” is hardly the same as “your government is FUNDING your healthcare” and this simple clarification completely escapes the discussion. Idiotic. Landing in an emergency room, broke and without coverage constitutes access.

Sure, you can go to the emergency room… but that’s it. There’s no treatment for long term illnesses like diabetes, cancers, heart diseases. You’ll get a fat bill you can never pay, though

What she’s talking about is using the nearest emergency room as a primary provider. Bad for the hospitals, and bad for the patients.

She's sadly mistaken. I know people with no medical care today, and that's without the cuts from this bill. I will know substantially more if it passes. Shame on all who vote for it.

Even when one *has* medical care, sometimes the out of pocket costs might keep one from using them or, when one uses them the insurance company balks. I wish I didn't have horrible insurance company experiences.

Most of us have bad experiences. Nothing like having insurance deny care or meds because they don't think it's necessary. My favorite is pre-approval, which takes days or months. You can pay $100k out of pocket though. 🤣 In the meantime, the pain and suffering can be life altering.

They'll just have to travel much farther to get it risking complications, including death, or go to an Emergency Department instead driving up health care costs, including premiums for the insured.

EMTALA is the only thing that allows people emergency level care. BUT an emergency is not defined as that mass on your CT scan that is likely cancer if you are not requiring emergency surgery or stabilization. You will be sent home to see your doctor...

I have been a patient, a doctor, and a caregiver for sick in my family. I am tired of the lies that are told about our healthcare. The US can afford to cover all of our people's basic healthcare needs if we wanted to.

Horse hockey... Access to healthcare is completely dependent on access to the healthcare financial industry, an entirely separate issue. Republicans want you to believe going to an emergency room is the total of healthcare needs. So begins the road to financial catastrophe, even for many insured.

Terms. Healthcare is not the same as health insurance coverage. There's always ERs. Insurance coverage makes access to healthcare affordable and incentivizes cheaper alternatives like outpatient, recovery, prevention. Wider coverage also helps hospitals stay open.
