I am an insured American with reasonably good insurance, still received 3000 dollar bills each for the two times my son had to take an ambulance to the ER, one was literally transported from one facility to a different facility on the same medical campus, without my presence so I couldn’t decline and just take him myself. I wish my insurance would’ve covered those transports.

I think you need to be an uninsured American to really appreciate this joke. Ambulance coverage is $55/year where I’m from (Melbourne Australia), including air transport when needed. I’m in the USA now but ambulance rides are covered as part of the copay for ER visits ($100 on my plan).

Dunno, i don’t use destructive us-american companies :) But “0” is cheaper than A LOT of things. E.g. DDR5-RAM

$55 is too much, I’ll take an Uber if I need to go to hospital.

Your charge will exceed that easily when you bleed out all over their car.

Does Uber have cleaning fees like AirB&B now?

Drivers have been pushing back on that because patients spew fluids in their cars often, just FYI.
