The decline in numbers may make it more difficult to find, but not impossible, yet.
Your first link is about 'volunteering opportunities' ?? what is the relevance of that? The second link is 10 years old and cites studies from 2003.
When I lived in Reno before the ACA was enacted there was one low cost clinic for a City of 300,000 people. Every morning they had a line around the block, they would accept the first 30 or so people in line and tell the rest to come back the next day. I'm not sure what a person would do if they had to depend upon a clinic like that for care for a serious chronic condition like diabetes or heart disease.
Let's face it, if expanded medicaid is killed, if older people can be forced to pay 5 times what other people pay for health care, and if states are free to decide what services will be included in a healthplan and how people with preexisting conditions are going to be managed there will be tens of millions of people with no access to healthcare. How in the world you can think that's a good idea is very curious.
I never went to the ER. I went to low cost clinics.
Do you actually believe every uninsured person who has a severe cold or high blood pressure goes to the ER?
Again, see some of the prior comments.
My own mother died from this sort of stuff. As have others as has been pointed out over and over throughout this thread. Maybe you should read the thread?

Those low cost clinics wont do much if you have a major health issue like stroke/heart attack/major auto accident etc. What happens if major medical catastrophe comes your way?
I have had times where I had no health insurance. I have never not had access to healthcare.
I have never had my own Lear Jet, but I've never not had access to one if I could come up with the 20 million I would need to buy one. THAT is the idiocy of the Tom Price "access to healthcare" argument.
You could have fooled me with these posts and how you talk about yourself. Not to mention all the others where you try to villanize people and imply they're not compassionate just because they have a different viewpoint from yours.
