If I am reading the statistics on emergency room visits correctly, it appears that only 12 percent of emergency room visits are not actual emergencies. I must admit that I need to dig deeper into the numbers. Please let me know if you have other sources of statistics on emergency room visits. If I am correct and only 12 percent are non-emergency then much of the expected potential savings from the proposed health care reforms currently being considered by the house and senate are probably exaggerated.
