I have a friend that got a $10,000 bill for an out of network ambulance. Her kid got hurt at soccer practice and the coach called for an ambulance.
I'm not even sure why out of network ambulances are a thing because it's not like you get to research and choose.
I mean ok, but it was badly broken long before Trump.
I mean, it's insane since when you call 911, you don't ask for which ambulance for them to send over, which is basically the argument I made to my insurance company, and complained to high heaven until they decided to just drop that part of the bill.
So shitty.
I mean, the system has been broken for awhile, but from my perspective, we were beginning to step in the right direction at least a bit with ACA.
Wasn't perfect, still had some flaws, but it certainly shouldn't just be dismantled without an actual alternative as Trump has done since he came upon us.
Sure, he wasn't the reason it's been this bad, but he is the reason it's starting to go backwards again with his approach to ACA.
Naah shit was broken long before he got in the picture. Our healthcare is just a scam. My family went from comfortably middle class to dirt poor because of bullshit medical bills.
Indeed, but as I noted above, I do feel we were at least headed in the right direction, even if it still need tinkering with, but it can't be tinkered with if we start from scratch again, as it'll just be something even worse.
A foundation is better than creating out of thin air.
