Answer

True

Explanation

EMTALA stands for the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. It is a federal law in the United States that was enacted in 1986 as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). The primary purpose of EMTALA is to ensure that any individual who comes to a hospital's emergency department is not denied treatment for an emergency condition, regardless of their ability to pay. The law requires hospitals to provide a medical screening examination to determine if a patient is in need of emergency care. If the hospital determines that the patient has an emergency condition, they are required to provide treatment until the condition is stabilized or until the patient is transferred to another hospital. The law also prohibits hospitals from discharging or transferring patients based on their inability to pay, among other reasons. Therefore, the statement given in the question is true.
