I hate to break it to you, but when society starts to unravel because there are 1,000 dying people lined up outside the hospital and no free space on the floor for them to be treated, the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act won't be worth the paper it is printed on. Words and laws can't make 0 hospital beds fit 1,000 untreated patients...

Not getting treated because there are no resources available is a completely separate problem from not getting treated because you don't have insurance. At that point you're down to solutions like converting the nearest hotel into a temporary hospital.
