Consumer Report Spotlights Patient 'Dumping'.
Hospitals in almost every state have violated a federal law that bars them from "dumping" patients, according to a report issued by the consumer watchdog group Public Citizen.
From 1996 through 2000, violations were confirmed for 527 hospitals in 46 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
More than 90% of these hospitals violated the screening, stabilizing, treatment, or transfer provisions of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act of 1986.
