Gee, John P., I guess I won't be getting a Christmas card from you this year.

The law, requiring America's hospital emergency facilities to treat anyone who shows up for treatment was passed, I believe, in 1986. I'll check it out and post the date and info.

I believe John P. is aware of that law because he admits that tax payers have to shoulder much of the cost for those hospitals treating patients without health insurance.

Since the law was passed in the early to mid 1980's, I am not surprised, Beardedbruce, that Greg F. is unaware of it. He probably wasn't born until several years later, say ...1996? I'm just judging by the maturity of his posts.
