Overcrowded ERs - How long will you wait?
We've all had to spend time waiting in the Emergency Room. But what's causing that long wait?

ER'S ARE MEANT FOR EMERGENCIES, IE LIFE DEATH OR LOSS OF LIMB. NOT FOR SORE THROATS, HANG NAILS, COLDS. AND A MAJORITY OF ER PTS THAT HOLD UP ROOMS ARE CHRONIC ALCOHOLICS THAT ARE IN EVERY EVENING.

Most of us dont have insurance cause its crazy expensive! I work part time only at my job and dont qualify for Health Insurance through the company. I called many places and got many quotes. And all those places were so expensive, I was like I can't afford that and take care of 2 kids as well!
