$300 for a short ambulance ride to the hospital?

I don't think so!!! Money-grabbing bastards!

Only $300??

Wow...you're lucky...

Last time I went, it was over $500...I didn't want to go either...I tried to fight it and say I had the right to refuse medical attention...but they said my condition required immediate treatment at the ER, and they would have arrested me if I didn't comply.

WTF?? *sigh*

Trust me, everything I looked at said that the coverage I had from my ex-employer (which was good up until the end of last year) covered everything but the ambulance.

I know, it could have been way worse, but a $300 bill is something I really can't deal with now.

Grr. Oh well.

my father was in toronto last week and learned that if you are a non-416 area code resident(416 is toronto) and require an emergency vehicle to be called to your presence you will be charged all costs incurred by the city of toronto. my father was driving a friends car when the engine caught fire(they still don't know what happened). 3 fire trucks came and 1 ambulance. the bill approaches 2 grand.

luckily the friend whose car it was is a lawyer(it was also an incredibly nice car to be combusting into fire).

I'm sorry April--that really sucks!!

My dad was all pissed that his insurance didn't cover for the anesthesiologist's bill from this May when I had my second ankle surgery. For about 2 minutes of work, he owed him $900. Damn, I'm in the wrong profession!
