re: #362 RogueOne

. I’m not sure I’m understanding the other argument that switching from 57 (AAPCC says there are 61) to 1 “might not” save money.

It’s answered for you in the paragraph you quote:

…more than 70 percent of calls are managed on site and outside of a health care facility, meaning that the caller got the help they needed over the phone and didn’t have to go to a hospital or a health care provider. This makes poison centers a key resource to safely reduce costly emergency room visits and lighten the load on an overtaxed health care system.

Having that many poison control centers saves money on health care costs, since they are able to provide services that can prevent a trip to the ER. Consolidate them down to 1 center and you risk health care costs going UP because of overwhelmed phone jockeys who make a mistake when time is valuable.
