What hasn't been talked about yet is emtala. And so I want us to talk a little bit about this because most people don't know about this law, which is EMTALA...is a federal law that requires a hospital emergency room to provide care when a patient's life or health is at serious risk. They have to stabilize that patient before they can try to move that patient. It is an important law. It's been on the books for a number of years. (06:26–06:43)
