This pisses me off to the extreme
Price of an ambulance ride to the hospital: $622 plus extra mileage fees.
Mark my words, as one who knows firsthand -- there are going to be people who die or make their conditions far worse because of reluctance to pay that steep a fee.
Why not charge a fee if a fire engine comes to save your house? Or for calling the police?
The people who can easily afford these fees are precisely the ones who don't need the service.
In the meantime, if you get sick...call a fuckin' cab!

Yeah, I don't go to the doctor because I know if I get diagnosed with something I can't afford any treatments anyway (no insurance, though J and the Boo have some).
