The thing is, lately it's mostly liberals I hear bitching about EMTALA. It really brings out their "inner selfish prick".
Well, why they bitch about it is because it creates unnecessary expense. The ER's know the poor people won't pay, so they jack up the prices on the rest of us.
Simpler solution- universal health care and community clinics.
THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS FIGURED THIS OUT ALREADY.
