Take a ride in the ambulance and see how much that cost.

[Ted]

Is LS1GOAT included in the deal?

My ambulance ride from 35e and 121 to a parking lot on Frankford ( for careflight) cost $960.xx.


Don't even want to talk about the heli ride, little over $20k to go to Baylor.

Maybe that will keep illegals from using it as a taxi service

Yes!

As a taxpayer in this area I kind of approve, though a bigger part of me would rather the city appropriate funding for something like this, instead of one of the rampant social programs. They are talking about a couple 100k a year, not like it would take much. Need over want.

This is nothing new for Commifornia. It's the inevitability when you live in a state that is insolvent and cities are filing for bankruptcy protection. Tax subsidy diminishes along with factoring in just how much money you actually recover vs. what's actually billed to the patient. I worked for a private ambulance company and our accounts receivable was 60% in some cases. Looks like EMS is having to take steps that they have some compensation up front so they can at least pay fuel costs. It's an ominous sign for the state of affairs in that state.

no shit?

So they don't want you to take finances into account before you call 911 but if you do you will be charged? Kind of a backassward statement isn't it?

While I was working in Richmond, Va I had a dumb bitch come in by amberlamps because of a fucking splinter. Rediculous what people will call 911 for.

Like the "seizure" calls you get on cold winter nights from a concerned citizen, involving a vagrant.
