PP, I think you missed the thread. Do you know how to click on the post to expand the full thread?

A prior poster was discussing EMTALA, which guarantees medical stabilization at ERs regardless of insurance. (This is what you experienced, and it is the current law of the land.)

Another poster noted that Trump was essentially trying to revoke EMTALA, so that immigrants could be denied any medical care in the US, including at ERs.

My post was in response to that. If we get rid of EMTALA, how [b]would[/b] that, play out, especially as true emergencies are often chaos?

How do YOU think it would play out if those protections were not there for you and your family?[/quote]

I’m the poster I think you’re addressing (i.e., the one who said I didn’t have a side and grew up with my often uninsured parents sometimes needing care at the ER). You’re right that u missed the EMTALA discussion, but is it really correct that trump is trying to do EMTALA? EMTALA was, as I understand it, an unfunded mandate; I don’t think it have funding to hospitals or anything like that. [b]Guess I don’t see how it’s germane to this conversation.[/b] [/quote]

This might be a case of needing to review the conversation.

Trump cannot require or even encourage Emergency Departments from providing care to anyone -- including "illegal immigrants" -- without revoking EMTALA. Right before you appeared to enter the conversation, we were discussing that he wanted to make sure these people in particular could be turned away from ERs.

So, please review the conversation.[/quote]
