Answer
A
only patients with private health insurance
B
only patients with government health insurance
C
only patients with private or government health insurance
D
everyone, regardless of whether they have health insurance

Explanation

In the United States, emergency departments generally must screen and stabilize people who come in with an emergency medical condition, regardless of their ability to pay or whether they have insurance. Therefore, the correct choice is everyone, regardless of whether they have health insurance. This does not mean emergency care is always free; patients may still be billed.
