$150 is reasonable actually ... How much do you think 2 paramedics and a EMS truck cost per run?

My property taxes are bad enough without paying for every trivial thing. Do you pay property taxes? If you are a renter your monthly rental reflects the cost of the property taxes your landlord pays.

The taxpayer has to pay for the indigents -- we all get stuck with the bill.
as reasonable or not as it might be, i bet no one informed him that those services were associated with such a cost. people should be made aware that they are going to be charged with approximate prices beforehand.
