Question

There are statutes that provide the right to healthcare, for example - EMTALA - a patient has the right to a medical screening in an emergency situation. Research another statute/regulation that affords the "right" to healthcare and discuss the provisions of the statute (excluding Medicare & Medicaid programs).
