What law allows dying people to be deprived medical care?

Last I checked, hospitals were required to treat people.

Isn't it amazing that the two have been so conflated, that people use them interchangeably without even thinking about it? Reminds me of the terms illegal and immigrant. The so-called MSM is doing a very good job!

"Why did you walk here?"

"My car died. I wish there was a government auto insurance program that would have prevented this."

"Did you ever change the oil?"

"No. Thats why we need government car insurance."
