The question Anthony, and others are asking, is this.
IS UCMC dumping patients? Of course that is illegal. AND there are calls for a Congressional investigation of these accusations (by Republicans without a doubt)! I say "Bring it on." Let's get it out in the light and address these serious accusations. When the smoke has cleared and UCMC is found not guilty, let's take the NEXT STEP. Institute this kind of program across the country and specifically deal with the ER issues that are so expensive to health care in general.

But wait, Dante DID have insurance. So, whats really going on here?
By the way, I offer this:

It’s legal to transfer patients from one emergency room to a clinic, another hospital or a government-run system like Cook County’s without treating them.

But of course, we know Dante WAS TREATED ANYWAY by UCMC before being transferred!
Anthony, would you like to join us for dinner?
