23 ED Utilization and Uninsured
Is uninsured care cause for overcrowding of the ED? 2008 – Weber et al found Percent of uninsured using the ED did not change over 10 years Most ED visits increase due to non-poor insured with primary care physician as usual source of care Weber EJ, Showstack JA, Hunt KA, et al. “Are the Uninsured Responsible for the Increase in Emergency Department Visits in the United States?” Annals of Emergency Medicine 52(2): 108–115, 2008.
