You're right. Legally ERs can't turn away patients. They have to "stabilize" them before discharge. However not all ERs are equal. It's entirely possible that procedures like this wouldn't be available in a less well funded (read: poorer) hospitals. At least until it becomes what's known as the "standard of care", where the healthcare provider can be culpable for not providing the treatment. Though, honestly, I don't really see that happening. If this is successful, I would expect to primarily see first adoption in hospitals which already have high trauma rates. Which, typically, are hospitals serving poorer areas.
