What country are you referring to?  In general, in the US,
hospitals and individual docters can turn away anyone unless
it is an emergency, although public hospitals usually treat
anyone regardless of ability to pay.  The main reason why some
emergency rooms are so crowded is that people who can only afford
"free" care go there.  In general, emergency departments (at
least non-private ones) treat anyone seeking care whether or not
it is an emergency, however, even public Level 1 trauma centers
(due to being over capacity) sometime turn away ambulances unless
it is a true Level 1 emergency (i.e., the patient will most likely
die before reaching the next available ER).
