You would absolutely be treated. That's a requirement the federal government makes of any hospital that receives medicare/medicaid payment (if you're interested in learning more, google 'EMTALA').

You will also absolutely get a bill, which could be quite large, and could be sent to collections, and could destroy your credit history.

While those last three aren't certain, they're common enough that they should give you pause to think...




Note that EMTALA only requires hospitals to give you stabilizing treatment.
