I just wanna bring up the subject of my medical bills. I'm easily in 20k plus debt for the E.R, while I was waiting to be transported. They charge like $600 for one ambulance ride that took ten minutes. This is astronomical and this is what is wrong with our healthcare system and our country. /rant

Curious how much an ambulance costs here (which used to be totally free).... $45.

If the doctor deems you took an ambulance for a non-emergency, it's $240.

We'll even cover the whole cost if it is a medical emergency and you're being transferred to another hospital in Canada.. Or even another country.. Wow.
