This reminded me, does anyone know what the profit margin on ambulance trips are? They must surely be outrageous, but to what degree?
Many years ago I was run over by a car, the charge of the ambulance was $800 USD, the total hospital bill for the 4 hours I was in “observation” was $28,000. I did not have medical insurance at that time.
How is that possible. A single accident and you’re in debt for life ?
Because the health insurance/medical industry situation in America is objectively criminal.
This is why the quality of health insurance offered by a potential employer is such a huge consideration when looking for work in this country, sometimes outweighing prospects of salary or hourly pay. With even moderately decent coverage a bad accident can ruin your life financially.That is completely crazy. I am so glad to be far from this madness. I feel for the people stuck in it. Hopefully this changes soon
Is a “we don’t call 911” sign a real thing in America?
Yes , and usually has a picture of a pistol pointing at the observer. Frequency of use varies from place to place.
It’s basically advertising that there are guns to steal in the house.
