This is wrong on a variety of levels....

First I want to address a comment by Janet... In an emergency you are correct a patient can't be turned away... but they can do just enough to ensure the patient will survive. This is actually more of a federal thing then a state. Although the states try and regulate it...

What this move really effects, is people to seek treatment for non-emergency issues / non life threatening issues.

The medical system in this country is beyond broken.... Hospitals are run like business and expected to make profits... A hospital should be non-profitable and that is the bottom line. Beyond that you have Doctors, who feel they are entitled to make X number of dollars per year. While I agree that they deserve to be fairly compensated, I believe some of them are raping the system... I have meant many many Dr. dealing with various family members and health issues. You can tell the one that are in the business for the money and schedule. Whom don't deserve to be making the 200K dollars a year salary... and Those that do care about what they do and the people they help....

I personally think that the state and federal government need to take LRG Healthcare to task over this situation... LRG Healthcare no doubt is taking money from the federal Government in the form of Tax breaks, grants, and other misc. funding, if the can't also accept, medicade and help those that need it the most, they don't deserve any other assistance.
