Free Standing ER's On Way To R.I.?

Free-standing emergency rooms could be on the way to Rhode Island.  Texas-based Neighbors Emergency Center is hoping to eliminate the long wait times for people at hospitals, and limited hours at urgent care centers.  A free-standing ER is proposed to open in West Warwick, but currently the facility can't accept health insurance coverage from Medicare members.  However, opponents fear that the facilities will increase overall costs for healthcare across the state.
