Note that this is a form of "stealth" socialized medicine,
created by fiat of statute, but often without allocation of
public funds. I am adamantly opposed to this. The government
should have to pay for every dime of services it forces a
hospital to undertake. Currently, they do not.

If the public wants this, the public should damn well pay
for it.
