Study Finds Giving Money Helps Reduce Emergency Room Visits.

A new study suggests that giving money to poor people might lead to fewer emergency room visits. The study looked at low-income people who were part of a lottery where some received monthly payments.

Those who got the money visited the emergency room 27% less than those who didn't. This challenges the idea that poor people will waste money on things like drugs and alcohol.

The study found that the extra money reduced stress for the people who received it. This, in turn, improved their overall health and led to fewer emergency room visits.

Past studies on this topic didn't show as much of an impact on health. This study was different because it looked at a longer time frame and used more reliable data.

The study provides evidence that giving people a basic income can improve health and reduce healthcare costs. This supports the idea that such programs are beneficial and not a waste of money.
