Consider a freestanding location for ER/EC Inappropriate use of EC. Coordinated emergency care between cities Reimbursement affordability of insurance premiums prescription costs rising cost of employer’s share which must be passed on to consumers Not being able to retire because of high cost of healthcare Need to take the profit margin out of healthcare. Something is wrong when there are tens of thousands of dollars in differences between procedures. It is price gouging. We must address the cost of healthcare.
