<p><pre><code>   You will never be refused emergency treatment just because your insurance 
   doesn&#x27;t cover it. That&#x27;s the law in the United States.
   You will get a huge bill afterwards and there will absolutely be financial 
   consequences, but not medical ones.

Even ignoring the financial consequences, you literally have no idea what you&#x27;re talking about.  Hospitals are required to patch you up this second, yes -- but they don&#x27;t have to treat underlying conditions until you&#x27;re going to die from them.  Regardless of how much damage that does.  You can certainly die of very treatable diseases.  Need a ct&#x2F;mri, blood scans, cancer tests?  Well, unless you&#x27;re going to die of it this second, a hospital is not (and often won&#x27;t) required to perform them.<p>The law you&#x27;re citing -- EMTALA -- merely requires hospitals to stabilize patients.
