Many of the patients at the clinic are those who have been dropped by TennCare. TennCare is Tennessees expanded Medicaid program which has recently suffered dramatic cuts.

 Ed Kashi, Paramedics working with the Los Angeles Fire Department, assigned to station 65 in Watts, respond to 911 calls. They must deal with hospital overcrowding, ambulance diversions and provide healthcare for members of the local community. In many instances, they deliver primary care for people in the community they serve. This is due to the health insurance problems in America today, where hospitals are overcrowded and people feel they have no alternative for basic health care delivery. This is one of the impacts of having 46 million Americans without health insurance. Due to the abuse of the system and a lack of education, people use the ambulances and paramedics as a taxi service to the emergency rooms of the area hospitals, which makes fifty million dollars a year for the L.A. City Fire Department but strains the system for those who really need emergency services. Woman suffering from pain and dizziness is cared for and left to go to her doctor. |
