Like you’re presumably unconscious and at no point ever consent to be liable for the cost, and yet people get billed. It’s like if someone just came and did a bunch of work on your house when you were asleep and then sent you a bill.

Like, just wack. It’s like if you passed out in Walmart and an employee put a cell phone in your pocket, took your money, then gave you a receipt, and people were like “hmm yes that’s legit”

America must be destroyed

    I read a story where an elderly dementia patient died during a helicopter ambulance ride that cost more than value of the family home. The craziest part is that insurance would have paid a fraction of the price, but the ambulance service had no reason to negotiate with an estate that had an asset to take.

    Normally I wouldn’t feel too bad about someone not getting their inheritance, but the daughter had moved in to keep her mom from going to a nursing home.
