June 28, 2012 AAUCM in the News
On June 28, 2012 the Supreme Court ruled that the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that everyone have health insurance is constitutional.  

Just as Urgent Care Medicine has been part of the solution to the Emergency Room crisis, Urgent Care will be available to meet the healthcare needs of the estimated 32 million individuals that will be entering the healthcare market.  

Urgent care clinics have become part of the medical safety net upon which people are increasingly relying, and with the huge influx of newly insured patients, Urgent Care will fill this role now more than ever. In addition, with a national shortage of primary care physicians, and average wait times for appointments with a primary care physicians averaging from 60 to 90 days, Urgent Care will be ready to accept those patients seeking care.  

The public is learning that Urgent Care is a great choice for their immediate healthcare need; healthcare needs. The AAUCM will continue to improve the ability of patients and their physicians to achieve better health outcomes, and gain additional access to the Urgent Care centers.
