Private health insurers can legally avoid ambulance bills because corpses are not considered patients, a loophole that left a grieving widow shocked.

I did not know this. The ambulance situation is a shambles and wildly differs from state to state and in what your health insurance provider (if you have one) may not make you aware of. The article includes a comparison of all states’ ambulance services.

    In the US. My friend had to take two ambulances in a week.

    Total bill, $5000.

    Her Claims to insurance were rejected, and were told to pay it out of pocket.

      😮

      Certainly can’t say the US is the Land of the Free. I am sorry for your friend. I hope she’s fine now.
