#1 Any honest media visit to the Emergency Rooms would shock anyone not inured to the disaster that is California emergency healthcare. Our last 2020 visit to the UCDavis hospital in Sacramento had us waiting nine hours, in the hallways full of non-English speaking fmily groupings, and placed next to a Sacramento County Deputy Sheriff with a prisoner handcuffed to a gurney. After nine hours we asked the nurse to cut off the wristband and she commented it was no problem since it was after 2:30am and thus records would reflect an overnight stay for billing. I kid you not.
