Medical Treatment for All

___The Democrats controlled the Congress from 1955 to 1995 and during the last two years of George W. Bush's Presidency (when the "debt crisis" occurred). In 1986 they passed COBRA which included EMTALA: The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), an act of the United States Congress, passed as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). It requires hospital Emergency Departments that accept payments from Medicare/Federal Medicaid to provide an appropriate medical screening examination to individuals seeking treatment for a medical condition, regardless of citizenship, legal status, or ability to pay. Hospitals may not transfer or discharge patients needing emergency treatment except with the informed consent or stabilization of the patient or when their condition requires transfer to a hospital better equipped to administer the treatment.

___The above was not newsworthy when the Affordable Care And Patient Protection Act was passed by Democrats in 2010. Hospitals and insurance companies benefited because EMTALA was an "unfunded mandate." Uncompensated care represents 6% of total hospital costs.

___Clinton did not want medical care for illegal aliens to be covered by taxpayers under Hilliarycare. Now she wants "rich" taxpayers to cover illegals. When progressives got the 16th Amendment ratified, Americans were promised that only the richest 3% would pay any income tax. Surprise! They Lie!
