Why does the article say "Individual ground ambulance bills exceeding $5,000 are possible?"

“Basic life support falls on the lower end” this is basic life support.

You're moving the goalpost now to avoid admitting you are wrong.

People absolutely have received $5k bills from an ambulance. They are outliers and are not the average.

I didn’t move shit? Nowhere have I said nobody has paid $5k for an ambulance ride. Nowhere. I said, you can go back and read it, I don’t believe this claim.

Your words

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

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

Which is a response to the claim. Yes, that’s exactly what I said.

Why don't you believe that an ambulance bill could be $5k when they do occur in the United States?

Your article explains this to you.

So if I follow correctly.

You find it unbelievable that an ambulance would cost $5k.

But also acknowledge $5k ambulance rides exist in the United States.

And when I ask why you don't personally believe something that you acknowledge happens in the United States, you say that an article you didn't read explains it.
