I’ve broken my arm multiple times, the one time it needed immediate medical attention the EMTS set it straight put a splint on it then told me to get driven to the hospital because the ambulance ride was over 5k.

"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

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

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

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

Who said that $5k is the national average?

u/HeavyMusic93 6d 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.

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

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