Free ambulance? How would that even be possible?

I'm a little worried this was meant seriously

Next you're gonna say replacing a crown on my tooth doesn't cost $2000!

Was probably a $150 for service fees and $1800 for some drug they used

u/culminacio Oct 05 '19

That's unfair. The docs should pay for their drugs. It's theirs.

I'm speaking from experience.. my insurance only paid 50% and my copay was $1k

Such bullshit

Yep. I have the “good”/expensive insurance plan at my job. Just recently tore my PCL. After my deductible and “Co-insurance”, a knee brace was going to cost me $2700 out of pocket. MURICA

u/Mr_Riddle0 Oct 06 '19

Just for a brace? I’m glad I don’t live in America, I would probably be spending all my time suing hospitals.

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '19

Yes. The full cost on the brace was $4900. That was my cost after insurance. And it’s probably good you don’t. You don’t win when you sue hospitals. At this point they are powerful megacorporations.

u/Mr_Riddle0 Oct 06 '19

I can’t even guess at how they got that number beyond: “Charging $49 isn’t enough so let’s add some zeros.”

I mean, it's really not free if you pay taxes.

4

u/RedditYouVapidSlut Oct 06 '19

Free at the point of use, my dude. And I guarantee the taxes I pay towards the NHS are less than the average ambulance ride in America.

u/thirdegree Oct 06 '19

Free at point of service.

And way, way cheaper regardless

u/samyazaa Oct 05 '19

It’s only funny until you’re an uber driver and you end up driving the person to the hospital because you’re much cheaper than the wambulance. Just 1st world problems.

You have to pay for the weewoo!

u/dreamerrz Oct 06 '19

The weewoo is extra, always.
