Answers:
No, they are not supposed to!. Life threatening situations must be treated, regardless of ability to pay or the presence of insurance!. But, there are many hospitals that will not treat, and simply say they didn't realize the seriousness of the person's condition!. Of course when someone dies in their lobby, they are wide open to suit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
it sadly happens, I've seen two stories recently on the news about people dieing in ER waiting rooms!. They are not supposed to refuse health care in emergency situations!. They can be sued for wrongful death!.
