I am on a health care tangent...Emergency rooms that receive any kind of federal funding....

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Emergency rooms that receive any kind of federal funding and that includes Medicare and Medicaid payments are required by law to treat sick or injured individuals in their emergency rooms regardless of their insurance status.

I am surprised the Deplorables haven't tried to repeal that. They can turn America into the Lord Of The Flies. Some of them are pretty f---ing soft like this cat:



I don't think they will fare well in that kind of situation.

1. It is the only logical step for them

I already told my Congressman that if you kill ACA, then you might as well do this as well. Also open up Soylent Green euthanasia centers and ship the valuable protein to feed our Iowa hogs.

3. I had no insurance at the time and went to the E R at Kaiser Permanente and was treated like a king.

2. The GOP Actually Does Not Like This Law. I Do Believe They Want To Repeal It.

4. local police & local fire dept. will be over-whelmed when "stuck" with all medical emergencies.

Local Police usually first responders for accidents, heart attacks, all kinds of medical emergencies. Even their own prisoners need emergency room services.

Bad enough with Americas shortage of hospitals, shortage of Doctors and especially in many States rural areas, shortage of any healthcare facilities.

5. GOPers can pretty much kill it -- and us -- by how tightly they enforce "stabilization" of patients.

We complied, he wasn't screaming in pain and bleeding out when we stuck him in a taxi.
