The difference between an office visit (about $100-200) and an Urget Care / ER visit (about $1000 - 1500) is that the UC/ER is alwyas open, doesn't take appointments, and is there for the walk-in trade. Also, UC/ER deals with more "urgent" types of things, such as Ricky's arm falling off from gangrene caused by a scorpion sting and exacerbated by self-surgery. (Add to you list of things to read "Bag Balm and Duct Tape.")

Some day, when I'm bored, I'll start a thread on health care in America so you can see the depths of feeling about this. If you thought the Blatantly Political Rant was entertaining...
