Already Ailing Emergency Care Hit Hard by Economic Crisis

Every 60 seconds another American is denied critical emergency care. The worsening recession, an unprecedented number of Americas without health care insurance, and ever-mounting job losses have created an alarming crisis in our nation’s emergency rooms. In an effort to assure all American can get emergency care when they need it, the American College of Emergency Physicians is supporting the Access to Emergency Medical Services Act, national legislation that would help rebuild the crumbling foundation of our country’s health care system. Take action to help ensure emergency medical care is there for you and your family.
