Steven,
Agreed. We are in the same boat. That's why I think for the ED problem to be solved, some tough decisions would have to be made.
Ironically, it is far easier for an ED who has no relationship with a patient to simply refuse to see the patient (once we accepted that there would be consequences for some of those) than it is for you and I to turn away a patient for lack of copay that we do know and just have a hard time turning them away.
