Andy9o8 2 #76 June 28, 2012 Quoteyears ago I had taken a now ex-girlfriend to the ER for chest pains. WITH good insurance, no EKG until $500 paid. I hope that was prior to 1986, otherwise that was unlawful on the hospital's part. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Medical_Treatment_and_Active_Labor_Act QuoteThe Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA)[1] is a U.S. Act of Congress passed in 1986 as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). It requires hospitals to provide care to anyone needing emergency healthcare treatment regardless of citizenship, legal status or ability to pay. There are no reimbursement provisions. Participating hospitals may only transfer or discharge patients needing emergency treatment under their own informed consent, after stabilization, or when their condition requires transfer to a hospital better equipped to administer the treatment.[1] EMTALA applies to "participating hospitals." The statute defines "participating hospitals" as those that accept payment from the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under the Medicare program.[2] However, in practical terms, EMTALA applies to virtually all hospitals in the U.S., with the exception of the Shriners Hospitals for Children, Indian Health Service hospitals, and Veterans Affairs hospitals.

airdvr 210 #85 June 28, 2012 Quote>I don't know about having more people insured will make a difference in general health. We were talking about costs. More people covered, who are on average healthier, will lower costs since the covered population will require less intervention on average. That's not because insurance makes people healthier, it's because healthy people are currently more often uninsured. And who do you think is going to purchase these policies that doesn't have one already?Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #90 June 28, 2012 QuoteIt was a booklet from his former publishing agency. Article here. OK, thanks. I also found where the assistant who wrote that issued a statement saying that it was a fact-checking mistake on her part. Obama wrote a book around that same time, where he talks about being born in Hawaii. But a birth certificate from a Hawaiian hospital is probably more reliable than either of those sources.

winsor 236 #91 June 28, 2012 QuoteQuoteSo since when has the president ever had the authority to create a tax???? Now they've shit on another part of our constitution. The supremes are proving they are not concerned with constitutional law. After the election of a President that failed to provide a legitimate birth certificate, and was recently discovered by an undercover agent that he was indeed, not born in the US, but born in Kenya, and nothing was even thought of it, I can honestly say that the people of America seem to not give a rats ars about the Constitution. BHO Sr. was quietly ejected from Harvard for polygamy. While in Hawaii, he had impregnated & briefly married an 18 YO coed, but was reported by reputable sources to already have a minimum of one more wife back home in Kenya. The likelihood that a pair of college students would have coughed up the bucks necessary to fly halfway around the world, with one of them terribly pregnant, to bring the corn-fed Kansas cutie into contact with the home-town honey does not wash. If you think the reception would have been all smiles, think again. Should you wish to disapprove of our current CIC, you would do better to focus on what he really is or is not. Resorting to inane conspiracy theories is even more of a waste of time. BSBD, Winsor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
