California Knows: EMTALA Violations in Our Hospitals

This is not negligence. It’s murderous federal illegality. And California has now been fully informed.

This is what murder by policy looks like when it’s wearing a white coat.

This is not negligence. It’s murderous federal illegality. And California has now been fully informed.

I filed EMTALA complaints with every responsible body. In the same week Alta Bates tried to discharge me in active diabetic crisis, I notified:

CMS Region IX EMTALA Enforcement
California Dept. of Public Health
Medical Board of California
Sutter Health Corporate Compliance

That means this isn’t just me sounding an alarm into the void. The federal government, the state of California, the licensing board, and the hospital system itself have all been told.

This is on record.

Read Here For My Posts About the Situation:

“Emergency Sleep Means I’m Dying of Diabetes”

“Alta Bates Hospital: Illegally Discharging Patients To Die”

“340 Million Americans. One Person Protecting Their Lives”

Here is the correspondence I had with Rose Alameda of Sutter Health:

(Additionally I will be sending a follow up email with this post to Ms. Alameda.

Please feel free to call Ms. Alameda on my behalf, and on the behalf of the American people to stress that we expect Alta Bates to change its ER policy in accordance with federal law.

Toby, I EXPECT you to call her, and your contacts at Sutter Health, to convey the horror and urgency of this grim, illegal hospital policy. You once ran California’s healthcare system—you know exactly what this means. This is on your watch.)

And what they’ve been told is this: hospitals in California are refusing treatment in violation of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act.

That is not a “mistake.” It is not “miscommunication.”
It is a federal crime, and it is murderous.

When a hospital discharges a patient in active medical crisis, they are knowingly sending them out to die. That’s not a metaphor—it is death by policy. And the target populations are always the same: women, the unhoused, the chronically ill, anyone without insurance.

CMS itself notes: investigations can take weeks or months. But there is no ambiguity about the law: if you show up at an emergency department, you have the right to be stabilized and treated—regardless of your income, your housing status, or your insurance.

California Is On Notice

California leadership has now been directly notified. According to Substack’s own confirmation, Ben Douglas receives every one of my posts. That means his brother, Toby Douglas—currently Senior Vice President of National Medicaid Programs at Kaiser Permanente and formerly Director of the California Department of Health Care Services —has been informed.

The state itself therefore cannot claim ignorance.
California is on notice.
If violations continue, if patients die, the responsibility is not only federal—it is state.

Where Did All the Lawyers Go?

Here’s what makes this worse: these are slam-dunk, billion-dollar cases.

Any first-year lawyer can see the money here. EMTALA violations that lead to death or harm are not just malpractice—they’re federal crimes that expose hospitals to catastrophic liability. Yet the legal profession is silent.

Where are the thousands of lawyers in California who should be filing class actions, contingency suits, wrongful death claims?

They’ve vanished. Or worse—they’ve chosen to hide.

Protecting careers, not lives.
Keeping one eye on jobs at the very institutions they’d have to sue.
Letting people die rather than risking their place in the system.

So instead of armies of attorneys doing their jobs, it’s me—one woman in a tent—filing federal complaints, naming names, and forcing accountability. The only way to end this lawlessness in our country is to bring back the rule of law, piece by piece if necessary.

Billion-Dollar Crimes

These aren’t just violations. They’re billion-dollar lawsuits waiting to happen. Every time a hospital breaks EMTALA and a patient dies—or is forced out in crisis—the taxpayers of California have standing to sue.

Hospitals like Alta Bates and health systems like Sutter will only change when they feel it where they care most: their wallets.

These are not accidents. They are crimes. And crimes this large deserve consequences this large.

Your Move — Today

If you read this and do nothing, you are part of the reason they get away with it. Silence is complicity. Here’s who I already filed with—now it’s your turn to make sure they act:

CMS Region IX EMTALA Enforcement — QASanFrancisco@cms.hhs.gov
California Dept. of Public Health — ACB-LNC-Complaints@cdph.ca.gov
Medical Board of California — complaint@mbc.ca.gov
Sutter Health Corporate Compliance — corporatecompliance@sutterhealth.org

Also:

Send this report to journalists covering healthcare, homelessness, and corruption.
Call your lawmakers (local, state, federal) and demand investigation.
Alert watchdog groups: patient advocacy orgs, legal aid clinics, ACLU, ProPublica tip line.
Share this story everywhere: social media, community groups, unions, faith organizations, neighborhood forums.

This is murder by policy. California has been told. Now it’s your responsibility to make sure they don’t bury it.

And where is the press?

Silent.

Complicit.

Pretending not to see the dead piling up (except me).

Every day I wake up and have to say words no woman in America should ever say: ‘I won’t die today.’ That’s what EMTALA violations really mean. And that’s why I won’t shut up.

My story is the most important story in America, being silenced because it is. I am the real American hero journalist we see in the movies, and the one we need. The reality is this: I deserve a Pulitzer for my courageous journalism, from a tent, while my life has been in extreme ongoing danger from the hidden enemies within our borders.

✊ CTA:

👉 If you read this and do nothing, you are complicit in murder by policy.

Call Sutter Health. Call Ms. Alameda (phone number in above screenshot). Call the state regulators. Make your own report about what happened to me.

California has been told. The federal government has been told. The boards and regulators have been told.

Now it’s on you: demand action, call, email, share. Silence is complicity. Noise is survival. MAKE NOISE.

✊ The Mantra of Survival

Every day I wake up in America, I have to say words no woman should ever have to say:

“I won’t die today.”

Why?

Because I live in a tent, and any predator could get at me.
Because I am the enemy of the most horrific enemy humanity has ever known — the patriarchy.
Because they know I’m a threat, and they want me gone.
Because hospitals refuse stabilization.
Because courts and police protect abusers.
Because $20 million stolen from me is shielded by law.
Because women and children are being slaughtered and tortured in silence while the government, authorities, and the press looks away.

“I won’t die today” should not need to be spoken in this country.
And yet — here I am, forced to say it.

So hear me clearly:
👉 Every day I say it and live it is proof I am still here, still fighting, still leading.

Repeat it with me.
“I won’t die today.”

Make it your mantra. Make it our war cry.
Because we aren’t done. And we sure as hell aren’t silent.

Jodi Schiller — once an international leader in AR/VR, days from securing global funding for her platform Metaobjects — was kidnapped, held for two years, tortured.
When she escaped, she was digitally erased.

Ex-husband Ben Douglas (Rimon Law) stole $20M from her. Law enforcement shields him, not her, and protects the stolen assets.

Founder of Connect The DOTS (Death Oppression Theft Silencing), exposing the hidden holocaust men are perpetrating on women and children in America. They’re hiding our bodies and working hard to keep us in the dark.

Now living in a tent in Berkeley — everything stolen, still targeted — she’s writing:
Narrative Possession: This is the Zombie Apocalypse — You Don’t Know Because You Are One.

If they can do this to a female founder, journalist, and mother — they can do it to anyone.
