Slacks implies pants of certain materials which are not part of a suit (jeans are not slacks, and you would not refer to the pair of trousers that came with a suit as slacks.) It is also more common to use slacks to refer to pants worn by women, while men would wear trousers.
Health care safety net providers are those that have a legal mandate or mission to offer medical care to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay, and have a substantial number of patients who are uninsured or on Medicaid.
Patients with private insurance account for most of the increase. But low-income uninsured, underinsured and Medicaid patients rely more on hospital emergency departments because they canât get timely access to outpatient care, and EDs canât turn patients away without screening them. This has led to greater debt load at health care providers.
