Utter nonsense. They'd get slapped with a big bill. And ERs can turn
people away if the injury doesn't require emergency care. Poor people
go to clinics, or only go to the ER when things get really, really
bad. Parents aren't keen to drag the whole family down to the ER for
a four hour wait for a low-priority injury.

ERs have difficulty turning away uninsured people who need care, if the
hospital accepts federal funds. They can get their funding cut. Also the
poor and uninsured will go to the ER because they often don't have an
ongoing relationship with a doctor. So they can't call the answering
service after hours and request treatment for, say, a bladder infection.
Add to that, what seems to be a non-emergency today can be life threatening
tomorrow if untreated, and the hospital doesn't want to be responsible.

Very little happens to poor, uninsured folks if they don't pay their medical
bills. They usually don't care about their credit rating. Poor people go
to the ER and throw the bill in the trash.
