It's not just illegals which must be treated at ERs regardless of ability to pay. It's anyone who shows up. The legislation authorizing that goes back to the '50s.

Without such mandatory ER care you're going to see an awful lot of additional (preventably) permanent injuries and deaths.

I’m aware of that. But, by and large, it’s the illegal population that hurt the most.

With legal free loaders, you can sue and get a judgment, garnish wages, take property, etc. With illegals, you can’t.
