Chaos and mayhem while waiting in line

Emergency in the Emergency Room
From inner cities to rural towns, American emergency rooms have become sites of social dysfunction. As Cleveland Clinic CEO Tom Mihaljevic told NPR, “there is a very fundamental problem in U.S. health-care that very few people speak about and that’s the violence against health-care workers. Daily—literally, daily—we are exposed to violent outbursts, in particular in emergency rooms.”
As doctors and nurses administer care, they risk physical assaults from drug-addicted or emotionally disturbed persons. This phenomenon, in part, is another reflection of the nation’s socioeconomic divide. While urgent-care centers manage cuts and broken bones in suburbia, ERs in some urban neighborhoods and declining communities must respond to drug abuse, homelessness, and antisocial behavior.
This is the supply side part the progressives never told us about regarding Obamacare. We end up with as many ailments and cures as government will willing to pay, which is everything.  Same with schools, they do everything, and invite the market to demand more.

So the chaos in the emergency room is the same chaos in the inner city school, both are the place where government does Everything for All.
