“Look, if you have somebody who doesn't have health insurance, who doesn't have a doctor or dentist, and in order to deal with their cold or flu or dental problem, they go to an emergency room - in general, that visit will cost ten times more than walking into a community health center.” IfsLooksProblemOrderCommunityRoomsDealsColdWalkingCostTenDoctorsEmergenciesFluDentistDentalEmergency RoomCommunity Health Author:Bernie Sanders
