From the NY Times:
The Bush administration is relaxing rules that say hospitals have to examine and treat people who require emergency medical care, regardless of their ability to pay.
There's more, including rule changes to exempt senior medical staff from having to be on-call, etc. So I guess if you're poor (hell, or middle-class without health insurance) & get sick you might as well go buy a shovel & start digging, because the chances of you getting help just went down.
