Almost all hospitals get Federal money, and are thus subject to the requirement (see the link). Under the requirement, all of those hospitals can write off nonpaying ER patients on their taxes, which makes up some of the cost at taxpayer expense. The rest of the cost is transferred, by government mandate though not through the tax system, to the paying patients.
