Emergency room turned away uninsured patient — hospital says 'go to county hospital'

Took my neighbor to Cedar Sinai ER with chest pain. After seeing he had no insurance, they did minimal check and said 'go to LA County hospital, they handle uninsured'. EMTALA law requires treatment regardless of insurance! He had a heart attack 2 hours later at county hospital.
