Questions are pretty hard. I underestimated the overall number of uninsured.

How did you do, pinto?

A telling explanation in the results section, though in a way I thought both were correct. A good point - uninsured ER visits are typically more acute. Agree, tough quiz. ~ pinto

Answer: Forgo health care services when they are sick.

You answered "Rely on the emergency room for care."

Having health insurance makes a difference in whether and when people get medical care. Those without insurance are less likely than those with to receive preventive care, which leads them to be diagnosed at later stages of illness. Among those with health needs, the uninsured are less likely to be able to follow recommended care for an illness, receive fewer therapeutic services, and have higher mortality rates than the insured. Despite being less likely than the insured to have a regular provider, the uninsured are no more likely than the insured to use the ER; however, when they do need to use the ER, their problems are more acute due to lack of regular care.

It is simple really, no matter what stay home. Try online or homeopathic remedies. AND if I drop over in convulsions, my neighbors already know the most important thing is I'm a donor, including cadaver tendons. One of our three local FirstResponders also uninsured, strange how folks in health care, talked with her last weekend about any "emergencies" at my address. I cannot afford to be medivacced, ambulanced or anything else.


I call it a natural life.

Still at 62, was hoping to see a doc when I'm eligible for MediCare. Oh well.

Take care.
