Up here we certainly can turn someone away who is non-emergency. With there being more and more walk-in clinics springing up all over people who are assessed as low priority can either pay a small fee at the ER or go to a clinic and get treated. I can't speak to the California situation but up here in Canuckleville it is certainly feasible.
