In the example cited in this thread of the young man injured by a pitt bull: he received emergency room care at U.C. and follow up care at another hospital. All of it covered by his insurance plan. All the hospitals and doctors were paid.
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.
