So you believe that sick people should have no other health care options than the ER? 

I suspect that a lot of people had pre-existing illnesses before they had health care - things like high blood pressure, diabetes, gall bladder disease, COPD - things that don't usually send you to the ER; but after they had health care, they would seek medical attention and get treatment.  BTW, have you ever been to the ER and waited hours (those of us who have always had health care), behind all these uninsured sick people?  Get them out of the ER, and our wait would not be as long. 

MM, you know as well as I do that they will not be able to repeal Obamacare, regardless of what they say.  So much money has been spent implementing all the systems, in hospitals, Drs. offices and in the insurance companies to drop it like a hot potato.  At best, we may see them modify it a bit, but the ship has sailed on Obamacare.  And insurance companies now have tons of new customers upon whom they can raise their rates.  And I suspect that those that never had health insurance and now have health insurance have become addicted.
