• I’ve seen some of these medivac bills. You are right. They are always $200,000 or more.

      States tried to regulate them, but the air ambulances argued that aviation falls under federal law, and fat fucking chance the federal government is going to regulate the price of anything.

      Oh, someone from the US. A helicopter salvage costs around €5000 in Europe.

          Someone near us put up a large banner on their front lawn stating how many people go bankrupt from medical debt every day. To me, it’s super depressing because the only way I see someone doing that is if it happened to them or a family member.

          We are a nation that has everything we could ever need to fix these issues and more, yet we choose not to. This country is just sad…
