Emergency Medical Care Clarity Act; create.

Summary

The Emergency Medical Care Clarity Act mandates that any person who comes to an emergency department and asks for care must receive a medical screening exam and, if an emergency condition is found, stabilizing treatment. Hospitals cannot delay or deny this care because of insurance status, payment ability, citizenship, pregnancy outcomes, or religious beliefs, and they may not transfer a patient until certain conditions are met. Violations can be investigated by the Attorney General or the State Department of Health, and individuals may sue for damages.
