Ambulances in my experience cost $5000 per ride and are never covered by insurance, and I have Gold level coverage.

ShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.world 1 year agoDepends on your health insurance.
Most people no, you’re talking about less than a few hundred dollars.
In bad case scenarios you where you go in an ambulance and need full ER surgery you might end up with a few thousand dollars unfortunately.
Me personally, it would be $75 or so assuming no ambulance.

If you needed an ambulance it would cost more?!?
Sorry, Canadian and even though I know I shouldn’t be surprised but somehow, America always finds a way!

Ambulance companies are all private. When there’s a traffic accident, they literally race to see which company gets their 55,000 pound F650 lifted 800 HP diesel behemoth to the site faster. Then they take as long as possible to load up to increase their billables.

That is very incorrect. Each town has a contracts with a company if it isn’t done by the town itself. Mutual aid is done by town agreements. Everyone has their own sandbox and won’t go unless asked. Tow trucks on the other hand are the Wild West. I’ve heard stories of tow driver pulling guns on each other.

We keep defunding health care here, so could be a reality for Canadians as well in a number of years if we aren’t vigilant.

Yes, just like most countries who have a socialized system. EG wise.com/us/blog/healthcare-system-in-france#:~:t…
You pay fees and money for major incidents. The only free shit is the common non er shit.
