Hospitals turn people away all the time for non life sustaining treatments.

True, but they can keep you in the waiting room forever, or until you die (whichever comes first), while they're kept waiting themselves for an "approved-to-treat" confirmation from the death panel.

The law is that a hospital cannot refuse treatment in an emergency. Otherwise, they can and do refuse treatment.

Not exactly. The ER is required to provide a screening medical exam, and stabilization of any emergent medical condition. So if you show up with a non emergent condition they gave every right to do the screening then show you the door.
