    5k to 10k. So people risk deat, drive themselves, find a ride somehow and refuse to get on when it gets called. There have been some new laws about credit scores and medical debt, but before these laws, everyone was on health issue away from a lifetime sentence of poor credit here. And even these new laws are a grey area of helpfulness.

    I’d rather take a taxi to the hospital because it’ll be cheaper

  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).

    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.

    $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.

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

  Had to look up what ambulances cost where I live in Ontario, Canada. Looks like it’s $45 if the trip is deemed to have been medically necessary by hospital physicians and you have a valid health card. Otherwise it’s $240. There are certain exemptions for the $45 as well. Like when my daughter had to be transferred to a different hospital, I don’t remember being charged for that ambulance ride?

    I’m envious of how reasonable that all sounds.
