Why not replace private physicians in America with emergency rooms?

Richard, given that you've had many medical problems, I think you know the answer to this.

And I have had people first-hand tell me I shouldn't see there is a problem, because there are emergency rooms about.  Those arguing base the view on that emergency rooms can't turn anyone away... which is because laws dictate it.

So, I could then also ask, why should hospitals be the only business that can't turn customers away?

I'd say the modern hypocratic oath has something to do with it...
