I believe EMTALA only applies to Emergency Rooms. It may even go as far as saying ERs connected to a hospital but it may apply to freestanding as well.

I don’t use the inhaler everyday and thought I had a backup. I caught a lung full of burning leaves and it triggered an attack. I puffed what was left of the inhaler and got better. Later in the day the attack started to ramp up and I realized I was out of medicine. So I panicked and the rest has been written.

EMTALA only applies to Emergency room. A private medical business/urgent care whether affiliated with hospital or not, can refuse care if you can not pay. They can call 911 for you if you have a true medical emergency

Actually the water and labor are paid for upfront, it’s called taxes.
You are the second one to mention this in regard to the firefighter argument. While states vary on this in Louisiana property taxes are paid in arrears vs in advance so people technically do receive all the services from their property taxes prior to paying them.
OP's choices may have made sense in hypoxia-induced panic but in retrospect, he should see how it wasn't the best course of action. Having dealt personally with situationally created hypoxia as well as dealing with others in that mind-altering state I will excuse any lapses of reason but OP should be receiving proper Os to the brain now and should recognize the chain of errors and endeavor to reduces the chances for them to reoccur.
Pointing out of a public forum the series of misjudgments he made leading to an automobile accident is another in a series of mental miscalculations.

Another without a clue.
Asthma? Sure. But without certain modalities, a person with "an asthma attack" might possibly be an MI walking in your door. Not to mention a Pulmonary embolism. Do you think an Urgent care- without Troponin levels and D-dimer levels and CT scan or VQ scan technology is gonna take that risk? Hell, no. That is a malpractice suit just waiting to happen.

If there is such a privilege, it does not require a private practitioner to provide free care.
Actually EMTALA is the largest unfunded government mandate. Healthcare systems basically just have to eat those costs, minus whatever tax write off they can finagle.

False. Become educated on a topic before you speak, you are ignorant.
The inability to pick up on clearly indicated sarcasm is an indication of lower IQ. So are screennames that look like they were autogenerated by AOL.

If the clinic took a hypocritical oath, then doing the opposite of what they're supposed to do is okay.

As much as it sucks the place he visited was legally required to assess, stabilize if necessary, before sending him to another facility be it an ER or whatever…. And you aren’t allowed to “assess ability to pay” before assessing the patient.
False!

According to the attorney drafting a demand letter as we speak, the facility I visited is considered a free standing emergency room and is obligated to follow EMTALA regulations.
Additionally the free standing emergency room operating in conjunction with a regional trauma center (public hospital), has its own ambulance staffed with medics and nurses to transport cases to the main hospital. So the claims of “they can’t handle this type of emergency” is absolute bullshite. Apparently cardiac arrests and other emergencies in the area are brought in for stabilization and transferred out by air or ground once stable.
Walk in complaints such as chest pain, altered mental status, shortness of breathe, active labor, etc must be assessed by a licensed medical professional no matter what the patient’s insurance and financial status may be.

I dont doubt it. He sounds like a complete piece of shite.
What is the end game here? Does he think this place now owes him money?
