Some patients do attend A&E with problems that could be dealt with by other healthcare services. However, the article makes clear this cadre represents 2% of patients. If you really want to reduce pressure on A&Es, offer Covid vaccines free for all.

Republicans had a very bad day yesterday:
-Trump fell asleep during his cabinet meeting.
-Republicans continue to lose critical cases in court.
-They vastly underperformed in a Tennessee congressional special election.
They are panicking and will become much worse. Pay attention.

So Van Epps will win, but by single digits. Yup, Americans are plenty mad… and that anger won’t dissipate, especially as you have Trump saying nonsense like affordability is a “Democrat con job.”
We don’t know if TN Democrat Aftyn Behn can pull off a win, but the very fact it’ll be close should tell the Republicans that Americans are plenty mad with this regime that could not care less about their problems.
