We need to offer low-cost alternatives to ER. One is to have no-frills clinics staffed by physician's assistants (PA's). Yes, we know their limitations (clinics and PA's), but they can do much that physicians can do.
For very poor people, liquid ibuprofen at $7 for one incident could be a hardship. Poverty is a big problem in America, and it is much of our medical problem.
Who knows -- why not put something like liquid ibuprofen on a list of items eligible for food stamps? Why not also toothbrushes had toothpaste?
