Total BS. Obamacare is not mandatory yet. And even if it were the ER HAS to provide service, no matter the ability to pay.
Tell the person spreading this story to do a little more homework.
It actually happened to a friend of mine. Maybe the state she lives in has temporarily cut off Medicaid due to lack of the fed. participation, I have no idea. All I know is what she told me and I’ve never had a reason to disbelieve her. Another person on the thread said all that about the ER having to treat people has changed in the last 5 days, so obviously others have heard it. *shrug* No idea, but like I said, she’s never lied to me that I’m aware of.
