    You mean those mobile IV vans? Those are only in major cities and when you’re suffering dehydration from like a stomach virus you don’t have time to schedule an appointment if you’re dying.

    Treatment for dehydration should absolutely be added to free essential care under Obamacare, at a minimum.

      In my area it’s not a van but a brand with a bunch of locations all over they do like freeze therapy and all sorts of iv drips. Definitely further away than the nearest hospital but we also shouldn’t need to go to a hospital for things like this that can be handled at walk in clinics if insurance companies would start offering better pay to those types of business.
