Exactly, I want to see how well showing up to ER for chemotherapy works.

Great for childcare if your kid camps out in the NICU, for burns that require 3 weeks to be walkable again... Really, why would anyone want to streamline delivery of care when we can dispense it in the most staggeringly expensive and inefficient way possible? It's just a mystery to me.

I was replying to a message saying "Americans live in fear of getting in an accident".
Everyone lives in fear of getting in an accident. Therefore, I assumed that what codegeek meant was that Americans live in fear of getting in an accident because they won't get treatment. But that is obviously not the case, so I'm not sure what codegeek's point was.
