King harbor emergency room is dealing with severe trauma issues that are more life threatening than abdominal pain and vomiting blood.

WTF do you think free medical care would do to change the situation? They have triage where they have to make a determination of who gets treated first.

I remember when I got my face split open and nose broken from a high speed ceiling fan, or when I was in a bike wreck and had two broken bones in my leg and multiple others in my foot. I had to wait my turn.

The fact that a little kid came in after me, that they thought needed more attention than I did meant I had to suffer and wait it out until they had time for me.

Does shit happen? Of course. Will socialized medicine make it go away? Not a chance.
