Governing
magazine reports that in 2014 the average Emergency Room patient in
Connecticut waited 27 minutes for care. That wait is similar to neighboring
states but well below Maryland with the longest wait at 46 minutes, and well above
Colorado and Utah where patients waited only 16 minutes. The article cites CMS
Hospital Compare Data.
