Hopping to the other side for a moment, I was on the scene, long ago and far away, for two genuine emergency patients who, at the time, made this law necessary. My recollection is that, before that law, a person with the means to pay who might be, for example, out jogging without ID and suffer a injury that left him unable to communicate his ability to pay would risk being denied treatment. Seems to me it's a good law. I know I felt safer when they enacted it. Bad law. Why do you say that. Seems to me that the answer would be to send the skinned knees elsewhere while treating all the real emergencies. Turn away from the emergency room the non emergencies rather than turning away the uninsured.
