Yeah it does kind of look like a loaf of bread.

Anyway, this is just a reminder that free healthcare is IMPOSSIBLE, we just do not have the technology!

there's ambulances, they average out to about ~$1500 a ride of you're uninsured, about $500 if you have insurance.

also, there's a good chance that your insurance isn't contracted with that specific ambulance company, so you also run the risk of having insurance and getting a gigantic non-covered bill anyways.

most people will call a cab to take them to the hospital these days, or just die, as the system seems designed to encourage.

Someone close to me had an ambulance ride and they had insurance from the hospital. I think it was around $2,000

Fucking shitty country

about $500 if you have insurance

i still can't wrap my head around the idea that being insured in the US means you get a discount on health services
