The information from the American College of Emergency Physicians that I posted is “nonsense”? Okay, let’s try this one:
“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.”
No. What is nonsense is your understanding of the “law”. Who does “The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act" apply to?
I suspect the “law” may only apply to hospitals who have sold their souls in return for government cheese.

Elizabeth Warrenwants elderly American citizens, who paid into Medicare all their lives, to surrender their healthcare to the millions of foreigners who have invaded America’s borders.
Well, you finally figured out the “Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act”, contrary to what you asserted, only applies to Medicare participating hospitals, requiring them to provide emergency care.
So, I was in fact correct in saying, the “law” may only apply to hospitals who have sold their souls in return for government cheese.
Glad you finally figured it out.

When it comes to healthcare, our democrat candidates running for office, and our looney socialists, have no moral compass whatsoever. They refuse to make the distinction between CHARITABLE GIVING and tax tyranny to support the needy.
So says the one who pretends the Tenth Amendment does not protect hospitals from our federal government requiring them to provide free emergency care.
Struggle on my friend. The facts are what they are.

Hahaha. You haven’t been paying attention to what actually is being argued. Try paying attention.

Do we have a right to bear atom bombs? That’s a 2nd amendment issue. Do we have a right to bump stocks or AK’s or zip guns made from car antennas? Who pays for it isn’t a 2a issue.
Can we freely speak about fire in a crowded theater? Or publish classified secrets (ala wikileaks)? Can a murderer profit from a tell all book about their crime? Again, who pays the costs of speaking hasn’t been a 1st ammendment issue.
An amendment like the OP would address the abortion question more than it would the “who pays” question. “Health care as a right” is more a slogan than a call for a constitutional amendment.
I didn’t say anything of the sort. You’ve don’t nothing in this thread but put words in my mouth and make false arguments. Congratulations on your time well spent.

Elizabeth Warren’s Government sponsored capitalism is about fattening the fortunes of those holding political power with tax revenue, while regulating a free market, free enterprise system into submission, and then into extinction.
This “tax tyranny” is the worse. No one should have to pay taxes. The government and all its parts including the military should be payed for via charitable donations.
