Passed in 1986, the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) is "the antidumping law." It is referred to as the "COBRA antidumping law" because it prohibits hospitals from improperly transferring or "dumping" emergency patients from one hospital to another as a result of a patient's inability to pay.
