What in the everloving fuck is "overuse" of healthcare?

What in the everloving fuck is "overuse" of healthcare?

I'm going to guess that it would include things like going to the doctor for a common cold. Or a strained ankle, etc..

Not many people do that here because, well.... who the fuck likes going to the doctor? Most people know when there is something really wrong with them.

This is all just more broflake whining bullshit.

My mother-in-law does that. She's a real gem that way...

/and in a lot of other ways.

Think it's more to do with people making ER visits when they shouldn't be. From a CIHI report from 5 years ago:

Patients who visited the ED for conditions that could be treated in a doctor’s office or clinic, called “family practice sensitive conditions”

• 1 in 5 ED visits where patients were discharged home and not admitted to a hospital bed fell into this category.

• The most common reasons for these visits included upper respiratory infections such as colds (13%), antibiotic therapies (13%), sore throats (8%), ear infections (7%) and care following surgery such as dressing changes and removal of stiches (5%). These 5 conditions accounted for nearly half (46%) of all visits to EDs for family practice sensitive conditions in 2013–2014

With hospital overcrowding and "hallway medicine" having been a big topic in ON the past few years this has been one thing the gov't has been pushing hard to curb - there's been a lot of ad campaigns for contacting Telehealth before going to the ER to try and cut down but I can't imagine it's worked much.

Down here we have a problem with people going to ER for basic treatments but those typically fall into two categories

1) People with no insurance and no real ability to pay who go because they know Hospitals cannot ethically refuse them treatment. Or as the RedHatNecks so expertly articulate "WHY I GUTTA PAY FER DEM IMMIGANTS?".

2) People who have insurance but with high deductibles who do not go to their primary care doc because they don't want to get $250 cold medicine and $20 work excuse forms (yes, doctors charge for signatures down here) so they try to tough out some conditions and they get really worse. Then when they realize something is wrong, their giant conglomerate doctor's practices don't have appointments for 3 weeks, so ER it is.

I think Single Payer goes a long way to solving both of those problems.

Fake News!

Also realized today that if you read all of Trump's tweets in the voice of a 14-year old girl his tone is write on point and hilarious. Of course that isn't really fair because most 14-year olds have a better understanding of consequences and accountability than Trump does.
