### EMTALA says (you know about EMTALA, don't you?) a hospital can't
turn away a person with a medical emergency, no matter whether they
are insured or not. Why should a 26 year old be stupid enough to pay
15k per year for coverage they won't use (chronic disease and
pre-death care of the elderly), if they know they can get emergency
care for free anyway?
