All emergency rooms nationwide are required to accept all patients regardless of their ability to pay.

I'm not sure how this is an argument that we should have fewer government services. The notion of having basic medical care available to all citizens would alleviate this, admittedly existent, problem.

I'm glad that I don't have to make the choice between getting my illness looked at or making $45 that day. I'd rather more people didn't have to make that choice.
