EMTALA (the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act) was passed by Congress in 1986. The purpose behind the law was to ease the burden of public or so called charity hospitals from having to treat indigent patients because other hospitals refused to treat such patients due to their inability to pay. EMTALA is a non-discrimination law rather than a law establishing standards of care.

Even with the existence of EMTALA, there are still those hospitals that refuses patients because of their inability to pay for their services - well, this may not happen in your place but I have visited a lot of places wherein this happens. People doesn't really a very clear access to the healthcare they deserve.
