Health overhaul may mean longer ER waits
The new health law could push ER crowds higher as 16 million more become eligible for Medicaid and many doctors limit Medicaid patients. Experts note that coverage does not equal access, with Massachusetts showing ER visits rising after near universal coverage. ER crowding requires efficiency and hospital bed management, not just primary care expansion.

Those consuming 74 grams daily faced a 77 percent higher chance of 160/100 mmHg or more, even after accounting for calories and activity. Cutting added sugar may lower risk.
