That is true. However urgent care is a small fraction of the US procedures. Cancer treatments, heart operations, etc are most often planned care. They also care touted as likely to bankrupt you. Can we try to optimize the majority of our system first before we rebuild it because of painful corner cases?

That's a fair point, chronic / planned care is definitely a significant portion of the market.
