Anonymous Coward User ID: 40169223 United States 05/12/2019 08:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | - $33,000 for a medical flight? I'm calling B.S. They are over-charging for that service. The entire medical and pharma industry continually engages in price gauging, charging extreme amounts of money, way beyond what a drug or service is actually worth. - All children and young adults age 21 and under should automatically be covered by some form of universal health insurance. Working adults can pay their own way, but children should be covered. |

Why is there a difference in the bill ? This type of shit is all too common. I have heard multiple stories like this from our local hospital. Less than 20-minute flights and the bill is over $40,000. These companies should be ashamed of themselves. They are taking advantage of people during a moment of crisis. LoneStarRising |

docsquat User ID: 77639975 United States 05/12/2019 08:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It’s a scam. In our city they call medi flight all the time. The people are flown 70 miles to OKC where they are treated and released the same day. Our local hospital used to do everything, broken bones, heart attacks, etc. But now if your airbag deploys you’re going on a chopper. Now explain to me how I can rent a chopper for $600 an hour in Kauai but 30 minutes in Oklahoma is over $30,000? Purity of Essence |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48024189 pretty soon you'll illegals faking injuries on the border and demanding chopper evac as a way of getting into the country Illegals get top medical care. Injuries from climbing border fences will get you a life flight helicopter ride to a top trauma center. The middle class will be stuck paying |

Beef has no real monetary worth or assets, he is an invalid pensioner that was awarded a relatively minor compensation payment, that's all. Just ignore him when he boasts about his kitchen knives and his love of adolescents. |
