    You'd think they could so some sort of reverse claim and sue the people abusing the system, or get the cops on them, or something like that.

    Actually, they're only required to provide life-saving treatment. However, the hospitals and ER personnel were so afraid of bad publicity and lawsuits that they started treating everything - and now it's totally out of control!

    Depends on the hospital and the jurisdiction under which it falls.
