Go to the emergency room at MD Anderson Cancer Center today to see one of my patients. In the elevator of the emergency room see a post in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Arabic and Chinese:
If you have a medical emergency need, or if you are in labor, whether you have the financial means to pay for medical expenses, whether you have medical insurance, national medical insurance, poverty medical insurance, you have the right to receive the necessary diagnosis and necessary temporary treatment as permitted by the medical staff and equipment of the hospital, and be responsible for the transfer service.
This is a right given to you by law.
