That's pretty low for an ambulance ride in the stupidest fucking country, tbh. Probably the actual bill after her insurance company "paid" for $3600 of it.
This is the scam of health "insurance" in America: you get a bill that's stupid. Like "on a different planet" stupid. Your insurance colludes with the hospital to pay none of it (but tell you they did) and you get to pay the actual balance. The actual balance is also stupid, but just ordinary stupid.
I don't see it in the last couple of weeks of posts to this group and don't remember seeing it before. That rules out a lot of previous time, though not all of it. How long ago was it last posted?
Looks like the poster of that is a lemmy.ml account. I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if fedia.io, where I am, doesn't federate with them and doesn't show posts from accounts over there.
So while it's a repost given this new evidence, it wasn't a repost for me, and maybe OP didn't see it on their instance either.
Quite possible. This com is on .world, so I as a mod have to abide by .world federation, though it does seem like this post would have gained more traction, alot of people have .ml blocked personally so its bound to cause issues like this. :(

they tried to charge me $5k for an ambulance I never even entered.
Wouldn't reincarnation mean she died after being hit by the truck and would then be a newborn after she woke up?
She was out cold for quite a while.
That "An ambulance is not your taxi to the hospital" tweet lives rent free in my head
Too bad that's one of the few things that can live rent free nowadays.

It is in fact a repost.
Looks like the poster of that is a lemmy.ml account. I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if fedia.io, where I am, doesn't federate with them and doesn't show posts from accounts over there.

Ah, I found it via sh.it.justworks, but it looks like it was posted on this same lemmy four days ago:

I'm kinda confused by how this whole federated thing works, so use your discretion.
~~Oh, very possible I saw this first in aboringdystopia. Apologies. As you were. ~~
Oh, the maga manga.
