The more relevant question regarding this specific situation is: can providers refuse treatment to someone they wrongly believe to be ICE.

Probably, unless it's about race, gender, etc. Laws prohibit refusing in true emergency as well, but I'll leave that one up to the medical professionals:

Can a doctor refuse to treat a patient?

If true, people like this really burn me... like it's 2020 all over again.

If they could only do their jobs as well as they virtue signal.

They can put them in the ignore room for a long time, which is essentially a refusal.

No

They can't refuse treatment for anybody.

They can't refuse if it is a life-threatening illness. They must at least stabilize you. Otherwise, they can refuse to treat you.

That would be an EMTALA law violation if true which is a MAJOR violation. There’s serious penalties and massive fines, terminations, and lawsuits, etc.

Ain’t no way any hospital system is standing for that shite.

I would imagine that any hospital system would very very quick to terminate employees engaging in that. That opens the hospital system up to a slew of difficulties that they don't want.

During Covid they quarantined the unvaccinated in ER’s to a set area and took the vaccinated first.

Triage had nothing to do with severity of need but vaccination status.

I was on the receiving end of poor treatment and was mocked by two lunatic nurses and one doctor told me that the Covid vaccination was the greatest gift to mankind.

They’ll try this again, but theoretically, this is the wrong administration to mess with.

No. Emergency medical treatment cannot be refused to anyone.

That is a violation of EMTALA. They will be fired.

Populism.

When Reagan was shot & he was taken to the ER, right before they sedated him he joked, "Well, I hope we're all Republicans here."

The surgeon replied, "We all are today, Mr. President."

That was then. This is now.

So illegals don't get refused healthcare, but they ignore the hippocratic oath when it's time to care for fed or state law enforcement? Hmmm....I'd be suing the shite out of those doctors.

How can you win a war with these Marxists when the left controls the judicial system, the health system, the education system, the unions, the entire media structure, 14 states with no ID requirement to vote, and republicans in congress that consistently "take a dive" when you need them to fight on important legislation?
