just realized how wild it is you can be liable for the cost of an ambulance somebody else calls for you (hexbear.net)

Like you're presumably unconscious and at no point ever consent to be liable for the cost, and yet people get billed. It's like if someone just came and did a bunch of work on your house when you were asleep and then sent you a bill.

Like, just wack. It's like if you passed out in Walmart and an employee put a cell phone in your pocket, took your money, then gave you a receipt, and people were like "hmm yes that's legit"

They send you a bill if the ambulance ride was deemed non-critical, and it's NEVER critical enough to count.

Soulless health insurance person: "How do we know when it's critical? Easy. They get a helivac. Which we also deny. Too expensive. Should've called us ahead for authorization. Which we would deny, of course. Get an uber. Don't tip the driver though. We don't reimburse.

You know, really, all things considered, it would probably be best if you just... sorta, you know, died. Really makes things easier for everyone involved."
