More details to this question:
I have a friend who was in an auto accident last Saturday and was taken to the emergency room by ambulance and was made to pay all the money she had with her before they would treat her. Now they will not release her until she pays the balance of the bill can they do that?

That is not the usual course of business for emergency rooms. Your friend can certainly complain to government regulators about this. The important question is whether your friend can get anything for this mis-treatment.
