As emergency physicians, we have some of the most difficult jobs in all of medicine. We want to provide the very best care possible for all of our patients. We take the federal EMTALA mandate seriously. We provide care 24 hours a day and see more than 130 million patient visits per year while consuming only 2% of all health care spending. Emergency medicine is a great value for our society. Consequently, it is particularly discouraging when the government targets emergency medicine and vulnerable Medicaid patients with ill-advised restrictions.
