The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act is a federal law that makes sure that patients receive emergency medical care regardless of their ability to pay. Imagine that a state writes a law that says that all individuals have to pay for their health care or they will not be treated. What would happen?

Answer:

D. The state law would be overruled.

Step-by-step explanation:

I really don't know if this is right, but according to Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution is commonly referred to as the Supremacy Clause. It establishes that the federal constitution, and federal law generally, take precedence over state laws, and even state constitutions. This means that the federal law cannot be overturned.

Sorry if its wrong
