2. This is all from racists who have opposed single payer health insurance since the 1940s

The ER problem dates to a court case from the 1980's where the ER can't turn you away so it is the only option for the uninsured. This is a good issue to push universal health care, specifically single payer insurance. It is estimated that we would save money as a nation the first year and continue to gather increased savings as more preventative care happens. We need to push for uncrowding the ER so there is room for actual emergencies. This overcrowding in the ER hurts us all.
