Why urgent care centers are popping up everywhere | CNN Business

. Demand at urgent care sites surged during the Covid-19 pandemic as people searched for tests and treatments. Patient volume has jumped 60% since 2019, according to the Urgent Care Association, an industry trade group. That has fueled growth for new urgent care centers. A record 11,150 urgent care centers have popped up around the United States and they are growing at 7% a year, the trade group says.

Emergency room visits are around ten times more expensive than visits to an urgent care center. During the early 2000s, hospital systems and health insurers started opening their own urgent care sites, and they have introduced strategies to deter emergency room visits. Additionally, passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010 spurred an increase in urgent care providers as millions of newly insured Americans sought out health care.

One more way to milk a cow for sure. Cooperate America will always find a way to overcharge people who are already fed up with non-service at ER around the nation. Definitely they are not cheap.

I came back from Columbia w suspected Hepatitis A. I was new to Medicare Advantage and new primary couldn't see me. They told me to go to MDNOW in Fort Lauderdale. I had blood and urine test in 15 minutes, results positive in 5 days. Best thing ever.

every single doctors office in my town isn’t accepting new patients it’s ridiculous

' $48 billion in revenue this year, a 21% increase from last year', says it all. The American for-profit healthcare system is a hellscape. So tell me why European Social Medical system is so bad

Chances are there will be some black block clad you know who’s smash and grabbing in an apple store

What it always is…💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

In an unrelated story, Buffalo Wings and Fast Food Franchises continue to pop up everywhere too.

Or spotting a stolen car involved in a smash-and-grab.

CNN: Why don’t people watch us anymore? Also CNN:

It's almost like there's a need for some sort of universal health care system.

Lots of them in Texas. We need more mental health walk in clinics. Less prisons.

Nationalize them. Increase their staffing and hours. Don't charge people for using them.
