You really need to put the Unicorn away! You totally mis-construed the articles point. It never stated if the boy had insurance. But following the direction of the writer he had no insurance. JUST WOW! Time for meds she shouted to the patience.

The emergency room wait at U.C. can take up to 24 hours, by the way. Many, to many, use it for primary care (sore throat, runny nose). There are other clinics and services available that are CLOSER to where many of these folks live, but they never knew about them. Now, more of them do. I think this program would be a welcome relief to any number of large city hospitals. Educate the people about existing clinics and health options available near them, reduce the load and the waiting time at the larger hospitals.
