This sounds nice, but in reality emergency rooms at private
are only required to treat and STABILIZE patients who presentwith
EMERGENCY medical needs. The parents of a child with a medicalfor their
problem
that is not life threatening may have to wait hours for care
child, and if follow-up care is needed for a problem that doesnot
require immediate treatment they may be referred to the nearestpublic
hospital or clinic, where again wait times may be in the hours.Parents
who work minimum wage jobs, may not be able to spend thosehours
waiting. And, instead, they wait until the kid gets really,really sick
be for seeking treatment.the kids
As a result many children of hard-working parents (as well as
of the lazy dysfunctional drug addicts, etc.), particularlythose in
poorer states, get third-world health care.
