Emergency rooms take other people's money (in taxes and/or higher prices for richer people) to provide medical care to poor people, which is what lookout123 said the government doesn't need to do.
Providing non-emergency care as well wouldn't be some novel giveaway, it would be a more efficient and effective way to do what we're already doing.
