Ken, 

I think that overtriage is a serious medical, not political economic, problem.  Overtriage will cause death, by overwhelming the facilities. There is even hard data to prove this. 

It is a medical problem since patients are harmed by being over triaged, and because triage is part of the medical decision making process
