And what if one gets in the middle of, say, KS, intending to spend a week or two in mid-June and finds out they are horribly allergic to the poppies that grow wild in every cornfield? Will seeing and ENT or allergist there and getting a prescription be considered an “emergency?”

First, it’s not an emergency, unless one is so allergic that we’re talking shock.
Second, why wouldn’t one just go to a minute clinic at CVS or Urgent Care or similar and pay the $80-$90/cash for services for a basic allergy or many other issues consultation?[/quote]
nsr, if your eyes swelled shut, you had been holding icepacks on them for two days and and you still couldn’t see enough to drive, I would consider this an “emergency.”
And allergy medications aren’t “cheap” for an person without prescription coverage. They cost up to $200 for brand name antihistamines, etc, $45 and up for generics and $75 and up for corticosteriods.
nsr, you’ve spent way too much of your life in suburban SoCal. There aren’t any “CVS Minute Clinics” in the vast majority of towns in “rural flyover America.”
