Did the link tell you EMTALA covered non emergency medical conditions, or was that more ignorance on your part?

Im digging the widespread ignorance here.
Government Shutdown Update - Day 4
I don't know how much longer I can continue with my Government Shutdown updates but here I go - GS day 4. Checked the security gate at driveway access, put chain and big padlock on gate. Wife told me to remove since she needs to drop off a quilt with the long-arm quilter. I tell her she is crazy - the long-arm quilter has probably already fled into the hills with her rifle, dog and quilting machine. Maybe not completely accurate here - why would she bring the dog and have another mouth to feed? Wife just shook her head, left and returned in good spirits an hour later. She is amazing - going out into the utter apocalypse just beyond our property and returning with a smile on her face, pretending like nothing is wrong?? Incredible.
I was going to risk heading outside the fences but just couldn't do it. I don't think I can process the horrors I am likely to see so instead I walked the horses around the trail. Beautiful, dumb animals - they have no sense of the apocalypse occurring just outside our fences. If only they knew ...
Checked on food supplies. Have plenty of tuna, peanut butter and crackers. (Thanks Costco.) Toilet paper supply also looks good. (Again, thanks Costco.) Coffee supplies, solid. (Costco.) Our miracle water supply holding steady but I know how to prepare so I filled the tub with water. Wife told me to take a bath or drain the tub. I am guessing that the trauma caused by her trip off the property has crippled her common sense so we argue about the issue. I calmly and logically explain why she is so, so wrong. So I drain the tub. Looks like toilet water is in my future - yes, from the supply tank, not the bowl, I get it, enough already.
I am so proud I survived four days of GS. I will work up the courage at some point to venture outside, but want to avoid seeing the devastation as long as possible. I am guessing the town about 8 miles from our house looks like a combination of Normandy, Gettysburg, and Hiroshima. Keep the faith, Steeler Nation, and good luck.
