Agnes, who pays the great majority of the bill when you go to the emergency room? Unless your last name is "The Insurance Company", then someone else is paying the bill.
One of the greatest problems with Liberalism is that when no fee is charged for a service, Liberals believe that this service costs nothing. Agnes, in fact, strongly made this point when writing "I'm trying to figure out how I have spent other folks' money." I assure you, Agnes, that when people unnecessarily go to the emergency room, it's a great waste of someone's money. In your case, it's your wasting your company's money, as premiums are tied to user expenses.
And the next time the union negotiates a new labor contract, these expenses will be considered by the company. Pissing away your company's money at the emergency room decreases the likelihood of your Cadillac insurance plan being so luxurious in the future.
As I accurately stated, it's easy to some someone else's money.

My only point was that this thread explains why our family doctor's schedule is often delayed. (I might add that she has been our family doctor for many years. She allows us to call or text her with any issue - at any time, at no charge - and she gives advice, calls in Rx, etc. I've always figured that was a great way to save time and money.)
Upon reflection, I will admit to having gone to $35 co-pay Urgent Care once for several stitches needed after a kitchen injury on a Saturday afternoon. Afterwards I did see my $5 co-pay family doctor for removal of the stitches. But I will consider removing them myself next time to save more money.
I'm still trying to figure out how I spend others folks' money.
