It's not the doctors that are the problem, it's the administrators that care about the bottom line. Doctors have the Hippocratic Oath, where they will not refuse treatment to anyone who needs it. The administrators of the hospitals and the HMOs are the ones who decide who gets what treatment.
Holding the emergency room hostage is sort of like preaching to the choir, most doctors, though there are some exceptions, are in medicine because of the genuine desire to help people. (I know what my doctor pays in Medical Malpractice insurance, plus what the number of patients that the HMOs expect him to treat in a day, he's not in it for the money.)
