I'm sure it varies from state too state but I think they're only required to provide care in a true emergency...life threatening stuff. They don't have to stitch up a minor wound if you aren't in danger of bleeding out or kiss your sprained finger.. They just need to stabilize the patient. They are not required to act as a walk-in urgent care.
I always got a bill and had to pay it when I used an emergency room.
