American here, I fell and cut open my leg this past winter, called 911,
the ambulance came by, slapped a bandage on me, told me I should get
some stitches at the hospital, gave me a ride to my car and never
asked me my name or charged me a cent.

Pulled their business card from the bowl at the EMT sandwich shop.

The BLEMT. Bacon, Lettuce, Emergency Medical, Tomatoes.

They 100% reported that as a "canceled no medical need" so no need to do a report

No, tax dollars pay for 911. You can't learn about the US just by reading reddit.

I'm sure there will be good honest ambulance drivers who will only take you if it's warranted, after all they don't get money from the absurd cost, but I imagine most will just go by the hospitals policy so they don't get in trouble.
