Dave the LAW I'm citing was passed under Reagan, in 1986!

en.wikipedia.org

"The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) [1] is an act of the United States Congress, passed in 1986 as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). It requires hospitals to provide emergency health care treatment to anyone needing it regardless of citizenship, legal status, or ability to pay. There are no reimbursement provisions. Participating hospitals may not transfer or discharge patients needing emergency treatment except with the informed consent or stabilization of the patient or when their condition requires transfer to a hospital better equipped to administer the treatment. [1]"

It has NOTHING to do with Obamacare, asshat.
