Many hospitals can refuse service. For non-traumatic cases they CAN be sent to another hospital that does have to take them. Not every hospital is regulated the same.

B.S.! If you go to the emergency room and do not have insurance, they still bill you. And if you do not pay, it goes to collection. The hospital deducts that as business loss.

Just repeal Obamacare and worry about taking care of the world at a later date, when fantasy meets reality. We were better off before OBamacare and now only a few people benefited from it, while the rest of us pay an arm and leg for it. I would rather pay for those without insurance via taxes than have my lifestyle stagnate because of increased premiums and co-payments.

Yes, real country....:a20:

If you knew where I was born and raised, you would be laughing also.

Truly a significant push for Trump's DeathCare....
 

If Death Care becomes law, I can actually visualize individuals committing crimes so they can receive medical treatment in prison.

Do us a favor and set an example.

I don't believe that to be true. Could you provide the statue that states that?

Blah, blah, blah. Just another uneducated bigot. No science behind your manure. But I might agree that you may be the last remaining dimwitted Neanderthal. You just keep piling meaningless words on top of your demented thoughts. Bye bye Don Black.

His 2am posting should be criminal.

Please get the care you need.

It's already done...a LOT.

Thanks for sharing the link. I have highlighted a few phrases that I believe are relevant to your, and others, claim that ERs can not turn people away if the do not have the means to pay for services


Not all medical conditions qualify for uncompensated mandated services imposed by EMTALA, which is contrary to the misperception that many individuals assume that if they are ill, they will be treated, regardless of their ability to pay.

The sole purpose for the EMTALA mandated MSE is to require Emergency Departments to make a determination whether an emergency medical condition does or does not exist, using their normal assessment and diagnostic protocols. Since the MSE is a mandated EMTALA service, health insurers are required to cover benefits for their subscribers. They are also required to cover EMTALA mandated services necessary to stabilize individuals determined to have an EMC.
EMTALA intentionally omitted any requirement for hospitals to provide uncompensated stabilizing treatment for individuals with medical conditions determined not to be an EMC. Therefore, such individuals are not eligible for further uncompensated by courts or hospitals[edit]
A significant portion of emergency room visits are considered not to be EMCs as defined by EMTALA. The medical profession refers to these cases as "non-emergent". Regardless, this impressive term is not recognized by the law as a condition defined by the EMTALA statute. A term more relevant for compliance examination and treatment beyond the MSE.
Examples of conditions not considered emergencies with EMTALA is non-emergency medical condition. If this "non-emergent" term is used in the context of EMTALA, it needs to be defined as medical conditions that fail to pass the criteria for determination of being a true EMC as defined by EMTALA statute.
A normal pregnancy delivery. In a case reviewed by courts, EMTALA did not cover the hospital stay.[10]
If a patient is already in the hospital for another reason and develops an emergency condition, EMTALA similarly does not apply.[10]
