in one of the Idaho abortion cases going to the supremacist court. EMTALA, passed in the mid 80's requires hospitals which take federal funding to at least stabilize patients who cannot pay. Republicans have been trying to get rid of EMTALA for decades. If EMTALA is struck down hospitals will go back to turning away patients without funding just like they did decades ago.
