SCOTUS today is hearing a case that will decide if we open the door to losing univsersal access to ER care. Today, if you show up to my work, I will see you without any discussion of your ability to pay, or consideration of whether your visit is the “right kind” of emergency. If Idaho officials have their way at SCOTUS, that will all change. Once the door is open, EMTALA will fall, and uninsured people will lose access.
