Here is part of the article

The Bush administration is relaxing rules that say
hospitals have to examine and treat people who require
emergency medical care, regardless of their ability to
pay.

Under the new rule, which takes effect on Nov. 10,
patients might find it more difficult to obtain certain
types of emergency care at some hospitals or clinics that
hospitals own and operate.

The new rule makes clear that hospitals need not have
specialists "on call" around the clock. Some patients
might have more difficulty winning damages in court for
injuries caused by violations of the federal standards.
