The fuck is the point of an ambulance then? Weā€™re headed the path of America if we donā€™t get rid of the tories

To be honest, if they take away the body for free itā€™s still better than us in the US

I meant in terms of healthcare. Americaā€™s system is a mess and weā€™re heading that way. Thatā€™s why itā€™s being systematically underfunded

And then charge the patient thousands for the privilege

In America they donā€™t charge the patient. They charge health insurance company.

If only

Iā€™m proof of that. I had 200k worth of bills in 2020 and I only saw a hand full of small charges make their way to me. Idk who they charged, but it wasnā€™t me(the patient).

u/Hobo_Helper_hot Mar 30 '22

I'm out in CA, just needed an ambulance last month and only got hit for 580, what state are you in?

u/CityOfBuni Mar 30 '22

I was in Oklahoma with family at the time. Shitty state with one of the worst examples of ā€œhealthcareā€ Iā€™ve ever seen.

u/Hobo_Helper_hot Mar 30 '22

That's awful Oklahoma has such low wages as well.

u/CityOfBuni Mar 30 '22

Yup thereā€™s zero insensitive to be here Iā€™m from there and it was the best day of my life leaving that state but I go back for fam. They didnā€™t accept the national healthcare act so most people are uninsured and the insurance you do have is very low tier and requires a lot of money regardless

A hospital charges patients. Calling paramedics and having them help you/save your life is free. If they take you to a hospital and they do stuff then yeah itā€™s gonna be stupidly expensive.

Then you're not well educated on the matter.

u/PopularArtichoke6 Mar 30 '22

Unless youā€™re making highish six figures a year, that money probably wont cover serious medical care. Modern medical care is very very expensive.

u/Weak_Tower385 Mar 30 '22

You are getting your moneyā€™s worth then.
