More bad news for Obamacare and its proponents. A new study from Oregon shows that better access to health care increased—rather than decreased—both the number of folks crowding emergency rooms and the subset of those who sought care for conditions that clearly were not emergencies. Many health experts who supported the Affordable Care Act had predicted the opposite outcome.

if you're breathing, at some point you will need medical care & I don't want to pay for irresponsible folks going to the ER for a much higher cost.
