(210 ILCS 85/11.1) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 152.1)
Sec. 11.1.
No hospital may refuse necessary treatment to a pregnant
woman in active labor whose life or safety would be threatened in the
absence of such treatment,
because she is unable to pay for medical services or because
she does not carry medical insurance. After providing services to such
woman, the hospital shall obtain payment from the woman or a third party source.
