Rubbish. You are just broadcasting your gullibility by swallowing the anti American bias that infests Usenet. All Americans over age 65 and disabled Americans qualify for Medicare where the US government pays health providers direct for health care of the elderly and disabled. In addition: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/EMTALA/ Overview "In 1986, Congress enacted the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA) to ensure public access to emergency services regardless of ability to pay. Section 1867 of the Social Security Act imposes specific obligations on Medicare-participating hospitals that offer emergency services to provide a medical screening examination (MSE) when a request is made for examination or treatment for an emergency medical condition (EMC), including active labor, regardless of an individual's ability to pay. Hospitals are then required to provide stabilizing treatment for patients with EMCs. If a hospital is unable to stabilize a patient within its capability, or if the patient requests, an appropriate transfer should be implemented...." In addition: Besides state MEDICAID health care iis available to the poor and many comparable individual state laws which are broader in scope than the federal EMTALA, preceded EMTALA Living in Arizona you might find the excerpt from the article pasted below applicable: Forced Medical Treatment for Illegals "EMTALA provides uninsured people with medical care in hospital emergency rooms. The coersive EMTALA obligates hospitals to treat the uninsured but does not pay for that care. EMTALA requires each emergency room to treat anyone who enters with an "emergency" associated with cough, headache, hangnail, cardiac arrest, permeated lumbar disc, drug addiction, alcohol overdose, gunshot injury, automobile trauma, HIV-positive infection, mental problem, or personality disorder. The definition of emergency is flexible and vague and includes almost any condition requiring mandatory care....." Google could take you to the article in its entirety but notice I used the word "might" because your proven venomous anti American bias prevents you from having any interest in reality. |

Fortunately I DO have insurance, but If I had not, I'd probably still be waiting. (I speak from experience - you clearly do not!) |

Would you please name those Phoenix hospitals that are violating the federal law? It requires hospitals to provide care to anyone needing emergency healthcare treatment regardless of citizenship, legal status or ability to pay. There are no reimbursement provisions. [Snip] However, in practical terms, EMTALA applies to virtually all hospitals in the U.S. ----------------------------------------------- The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) is a U.S. Act of Congress passed in 1986 as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). It requires hospitals to provide care to anyone needing emergency healthcare treatment regardless of citizenship, legal status or ability to pay. There are no reimbursement provisions. [Snip] EMTALA applies to "participating hospitals." The statute defines "participating hospitals" as those that accept payment from the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under the Medicare program. However, in practical terms, EMTALA applies to virtually all hospitals in the U.S. |

Would you please name those Phoenix hospitals that are violating the federal law?

That may be the LAW, but Arizona doesn't seem to consider itself subject to federal law, except when it feels like it. Also, are you sure that includes private for profit hospitals? (I've read of more than one occasion when the "emergency" patient was sent elsewhere.) Except for a couple of bright spots like the Mayo Clinic (which ceased accepting Medicare patients a few years ago) the quality of medical care here leaves a lot to be desired, too. (But of course it is only Americans who are unaware that the quality of medical care in the U.S. ranks somewhere near the bottom, among industrialized nations.) |

I have only once sought "emergency" care (at Banner-Boswell, which IMO ranks near rock bottom and will never see me again) I can only vouch for the fact that before they would even LOOK at me, I had to provide them with my insurance information. |
