How can my taxes pay for emergency room services?

Taxes!!!!!: Taxes are divided up into different areas including hospital, school, etc... The different areas get a portion of all the taxes collected. The health area can use the funds for the healthcare services where you live, and it can range from community owned (nursing homes, clinics, ER and hospitals.)

Public hospitals: Under EMTALA emergency rooms have to see any arrivals and treat them until stable irrespective of the insurance coverage. Private hospitals past the cost on to the insured. Public hospitals pass it on to the taxpayers. When Trumpcare is passed, taxes will have to pay for the 24 million new uninsured.
