    It’s a county government subsidizing ambulance costs, but in a stupid pay to opt-in way instead of just doing it. Just wait until the market starts doing shit like this - it’ll be ghoulish. deeper-sadness

    The American healthcare system is a slot machine.

      is this ironic because that’s exactly what insurance does. this is just that ‘public option’ insurance but only for ambulances lol.

      and i’m sure it’s brought on by insurance companies making their product so expensive & fighting to not pay anything, if anything i’m curious if these acute conditions will force local governments to do that for more than ambulance costs—but that’s hindered by the hospitals generally not being public
