This is the key chart - "Percentage who said it is very/somewhat easy to get medical care in the evenings, on weekends or on holidays without going to the hospital emergency department"

The problem with ER, is that if you're outside your doctor's hours or availability, you have to go to the ER. People w/o an emergency shouldn't have to go to the ER to get treatment, yet that's often the only option, unless you're absolutely sure it's safe to wait, or don't need some kind of treatment.

Then, there's the problem of actually finding a doctor. It can take many hours of research and phone calling to find a family doctor taking new patients. So, while you're in that process (if you ever have time), it's walk-in clinics and ER.

Both of the above *should* be pretty simple to solve, and would greatly reduce the ER wait issue and improve care.
