A two mile ambulance ride, consisting of a the ride and an IV, cost me over $7k once.

I recall reading how people in US now prefer taking uber to the hospital instead of calling an ambulance.

I'm insured through my job, and they have a $500 deductible for ambulance rides. I can uber to the hospital for 1/10th that price!

Imagine even remembering all the insurance shitshow lists when you are in pain and require help. Private healthcare is one of the most ghoulish things i can even imagine and i read multiple dystopian stories presenting much less worse things as total humanitarian disasters.
