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.

(22,651 posts)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.
