Health care reform could pressure already taxed system:
  • The federal health care reform passed in March is expected to stimulate demand exponentially by extending insurance coverage to tens of millions of Americans who didn't have it before.

    That could put tremendous pressure on a system that is already bursting at the seams, especially outside large urban areas.


Crowded Emergency Rooms Expected To Get Worse With HealthCare Overhaul:

There has been a misconception that people without insurance were the ones responsible for the emergency room crowding, but a recent study disproved that theory. The majority of people that visit the emergency rooms across the nation have some kind of insurance, whether it is private or state paid.
