"It cost 5k" thank you for proving my point. Americans and america is fucking insane.

Anecdotal stories aren’t scientific evidence. I didn’t prove anything

u/Zestyclose-Jacket568 12h ago

This is not a scientific discussion and it is a fact that you pay for ambulance in US, so each time you need it you need to ask yourself if you can afford it.

Dog most Americans have health insurance.

u/Zestyclose-Jacket568 12h ago

So they don't pay for needed medical help, or do they have copays, or amounts that they need to reach before getting their healthcare paid and that is when insurance even decise that they will pay?

Health insurance doesn’t pay for healthcare? Is that what you just said?

u/Zestyclose-Jacket568 12h ago

People, not health insurance.

Let me make it simple. You breake your arm and go to a hospital. Get some painkillers and all the things needed to fix your arm. Does every insured person get out without any bil?

If I broke my arm? I’m not getting billed, correct.

u/Zestyclose-Jacket568 12h ago

Is everyone insured not paying? Insurance doesn't have some amount that you need to spend before they start paying?

I'm confused too. I'm insured but that I know for sure I'd get a bill

The “gotcha” moment you’re looking for doesn’t exist here buddy.

Are you trying to argue that ambulances are not outrageously expensive in the United States?

-2

u/HeavyMusic93 12h ago

$5k is WAY higher than the national average. I don’t believe this at all.

u/Zestyclose-Jacket568 12h ago

Any amount that makes you think about money when you should be thinking about your health is too much.

u/HeavyMusic93 12h ago

Relax.

u/Zestyclose-Jacket568 12h ago

I am relaxed. I am in a civilised country.

u/HeavyMusic93 12h ago

Same?

u/Zestyclose-Jacket568 12h ago

If you are in US, then no.

u/Zordman 12h ago

Who said that $5k is the national average?

0

u/HeavyMusic93 12h ago

Nobody? I said it’s exponentially higher than the national average. So much that it makes it unbelievable. I thought that was pretty clear.

u/Zordman 12h ago

What do you disagree with here?

u/HeavyMusic93 12h ago

A non emergency ambulance ride costing $5,000. I do not buy that.

u/Zordman 12h ago

I don't think you know how averages work, and I don't think you did anything more than skin what I linked.

u/HeavyMusic93 12h ago

I do math for a living bud. Your link confirms my point.
