Occupy Wall Street Protestors
What started out as a gathering of people frustrated over
what they see as a lack of opportunity in America (their
complaints focused upon corporate greed, the large gap
between the poor and rich in America, unemployment,
student loans and political corruption), may be
developing into something else entirely.
[Sounds like the Obama Administration blaming Bush!]
Apparently, there are now teenagers and young adults who
have descended upon Wall Street in an effort to turn the
gathering into a boisterous party. With a “sex, drugs and
rock and roll” mentality apparently infiltrating the
protests, Mail Online reports:
Among the banners and flags are now discarded packets of
condoms, cigarettes and bottles of spirits, while naked
youngsters happily get together with just sleeping bags
covering their modesty. A box of free condoms is kept in
the main area where protesters are camping.
The real perpetrators are in Washington, D.C., not in NYC!

Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (1986)
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act
(EMTALA) is a U.S. Act of Congress passed in 1986 as part
of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
(COBRA). It requires hospitals and ambulance services to
provide care to anyone needing emergency healthcare
treatment regardless of citizenship, legal status or
ability to pay. There are no reimbursement provisions. As
a result of the act, patients needing emergency treatment
can be discharged only under their own informed consent or
when their condition requires transfer to a hospital better
equipped to administer the treatment.
EMTALA applies to "participating hospitals", i.e., those
that accept payment from the Department of Health and Human
Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
under the Medicare program. 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. The
combined payments of Medicare and Medicaid, $602 billion in
2004, or roughly 44% of all medical expenditures in the U.S.,
make not participating in EMTALA impractical for nearly all
hospitals. EMTALA's provisions apply to all patients, and not
just to Medicare patients.
