EMTALA: Protecting Emergency Care Rights

This chapter explores the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), detailing its origins in the 1980s and the critical issue of patient dumping that prompted its enactment. It highlights the law's role in ensuring emergency medical care for all individuals, especially pregnant women, and its relevance in current abortion debates. The discussion also addresses the conflict between federal EMTALA guidelines and state laws, particularly in the aftermath of Roe v. Wade's overturning in Idaho.
