Actually, it would be better to have people insured going to see primary care providers who can take care of problems before they get out of control rather than to provide emergency-only medicine as the alternative. ER visits are the most expensive type of medical care we have in our system. It is much more expensive than providing everyone with standard of care preventative care because we don't then bill them by the minute. The two options are not equivalent even though you are still paying for the same people.
