Such kangaroo laws/acts won't work effectively because hospitals(esp privates) are not meant to be humanitarian houses, but private business premises(medicine is business everywhere in the world).
They do not receive any grants or subsidy, let alone tax exemptions from the government.
Also, the government does not help them recover their bills from the many wicked, ungrateful Nigerian patients when they default.
Healthcare all over the world is expensive, and privately run hospitals do not owe anyone any free treatment.
The government should provide insurance to its citizens and make it very easy for all hospitals, including the private ones(where majority of the people are attended to) to key into it.
Law or no law, private hospitals will rightly refer any patient who they perceive will have problems paying their bills, and there's no law against referral in medical ethics.
A cart set before the horse goes no where.
