Why punish the rescuers?
 

It makes no sense to me why an ER would be compensated less for an emergency if that emergency were preventable-- the ER has no role in preventing emergencies, only in treating them. Furthermore, Virginians rely on emergency departments to be there for them when they need care most. We should not be cutting funding here.
