When I went to the ER recently (for what turned out to be a minor issue, fortunately) I was told I had to wait 18 hours before I could be seen. The reason: the waiting room was overflowing with people using the ER as their primary care physician

Trump kicked millions off health insurance while failing to check inflation & hiking gas prices so uninsured forego care or end up in ERs racking up unpaid bills & hospital profits fall & they raise rates on the insured & insurers hike premiums - a hell spiral. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/b...

Just like before the ACA.

I'm old enough to remember that this was W's suggestion for health care reform.

I’m not kidding about the overflowing. There were people waiting outside because all the indoor seats were taken. I went home and saw my regular doctor the next day

You were able to see your regular doctor the next day? I just made the earliest appointment I could with a doctor (2 months) and for a regular check-up I can't even see my regular doctor (PA or NP). Since the insurance companies took over health care it's a mess.

My sister in law uses the ER this way. She went there on election night 2016 because Clinton lost.

Duh, you'd think a Stable Genius Would understand waste🤠

And the end result...drum roll please...everyone's insurance premiums increase as hospitals inflate the charges on the insured to compensate for the expensive care given to the uninsured. If your state has a tax...that may increase as well. Trump has no clue how it all works.

But we can't have universal healthcare because someone heard that his cousin's wife's sister had to wait for care in Canada!
