Incorrect. An ER is obligated to treat someone with an emergent medical condition (as this clearly is) regardless of ability to pay. This fact is very well-known in the US.
I think you’d be very shocked on how many hospital refuse homeless and have them walked off the property by security here in the US lol especially in states with poor medical to start

They must legally treat *emergent* medical conditions. They do not have to treat non-emergent conditions, nor humor homeless drug seekers. Hospital administration is very aware of liability and what financial damage they can incur if they refuse to treat someone who then immediately dies from the condition for which they sought treatment. That is rare. If you see someone being escorted out by security, it's extremely likely they were disruptive and/or drug-seeking, AND didn't have a real medical emergency either. They will let them sit there usually if they're not disruptive.
