It's actually a very practical solution; costs will go down because emergency room visits will drop heavily.
But there's no evidence to suggest that unless you artificially decide when people are allowed go to emergency rooms or can be turned them away. In the first state to adopt a state-wide form of health care and heavily focus on "preventative measures," Massachusetts, the frequency of emergency room visits stayed the same compared to before their system was implemented. Costs didn't drop as they expected.
