❗ Turned Away From the ER Because You Didn’t Have Insurance?
That may be illegal.
Under a federal law called EMTALA, hospital emergency rooms must:
✔️ Provide a medical screening
✔️ Stabilize emergency conditions
✔️ Arrange safe transfers when needed
They cannot refuse or delay care based on insurance or ability to pay.
In California, ER refusals or unsafe transfers may also qualify as medical malpractice—opening the door to legal claims.
If this happened to you or someone you love, you may have options. Knowing your rights matters. 💙 https://www.scottsharrislaw.com/resources/articles/emtala-violations-california/
