A local man without health insurance recently received a bill for $1,200 in the mail after allegedly touching an ambulance, sources confirm.
“Oh come on, this is outrageous,” said Will Harper, after receiving the lucrative invoice. “I was walking by where the ambulance was parked and just touched it for a second. Should that really cost me $1,200? I wouldn’t have messed with it at all if I’d known how much it was going to cost me. Geez. This is worse than what I pay for insulin these days.”
Local medical billers defended the practice of charging people exorbitant prices for any and all interactions they have with ambulances.
“I know it seems like we overcharge for basic things like rides to hospitals and basic medical care,” said local hospital billing department administrator Karen Mitchell. “But what people often forget is that employees like me also have to have their salaries covered. Gouging the uninsured at their most vulnerable state is really the best way we’ve come up with to do that. If you have a better idea, I’m all ears.”
As of press time, Harper received a separate $150 ticket in the mail for recently walking through a hospital parking lot to shave a few minutes off of his trip.
There must be more to this story? If it is true that this individual was fined or ticketed for mere touching an ambulance or walking through a parking area then somebody needs to be fired for abuse of an innocent person! We are living in a day when some nut job is able to hurt someone just because he wants to demonstrate his supposedly power over another. He must be a liberal!
This is a satire site. It is meant to be absurd to make a point, and is not expected to be believed.
Clearly, Brian, you are a mindless democrat.
That would be the entire medical establishment. There was a time when hospitals were actually “non-profit servants of society” and the care they provided was free. That was before all of the unionization of doctors and hospitals because doctors had to recover their college tuition by over charging by 1000%. The Hippocratic Oath is now replaced by the Almighty Dollar Oath. Hospitals are the second most lucrative business to be in. The most lucrative is banking tied with loan sharking.
The Hippocratic Oath has been replaced with The Hypocrites Oath. The focus is now $$$$ and more $$$$.
Everything about this site (dailyskrape) is a joke, a gag. Except the ads.
Wow, you have to be kidding. Illegals are allowed to walk across the borders of our country and collect money from us, take our jobs, push us aside, get a drivers license, vote and treat us poorly, but this guy is fined for walking through a parking lot and touching a vehicle? Has to be a joke! If not, that’s the reason our country is in such poor shape and going to be worse if the Democrats stay in office. Liberals are giving away the country, ruining the American way of life and turning everything reasonable into nonsense.
You hit the nail right on the head. Great job.
cellent!!!
That is what the U.N. created “mass immifration program” is all about. Instead of the U.N. using it’s funding to physically remove dictators and despots from power in poor countries they decided to. move all the victims of these despots to the U.S. were the U.N. decides too many wealthy, hard working, decent peoplelive. The U.N. is nothing but a liberal criminal organization and needs to have it’s wings severely clipped. The U.S. could so it by blocking all funding unless the U.N. return to it’s original charter and get out of the “social” business.
Well said!!!!!
I agree!!!!
How and where do I “ unsubscribe “ to this exaggerated dailyskrape editorialized
news nonsense!!
Why leave?? Doesn’t your funny bone connect to your sense of humor??
Let him go. We don’t need embiciles that have the intelligence of a gnat.
Top left of page hit unsubscribe. Or scroll to bottom of page and click manage preferences. Does mommy know your on her phone, Howard?
At least this stuff give me a chuckle most days. Mainstream media is fictional too. You realize they only tell us what they want us to know. Plenty of info left out or half-truths.
Damn people….know what news site you are on. It is a satire site…..much like CNN.
People who don’t realize that are mindless democrats.
This article was written to show how dumb the crazy Fox-watching people are. The orange bone spur has shown us how easy they are to fool.
So, pimple, you believe Harris flip flops are due to her unburdening herself from what was? Or just trying to hide past comments? Democracy is being served by dumping biden with 11 million votes and installing kamel toe with ZERO votes. Nice.
Pippie is a FAG
Let them leave, We don’t need embiciles here that have gnat sized brains.
Do I have a better idea? Hell, yeah! START BY CHARGING EVERY LAST DAMN DEMOCRAT IN THE COUNTRY, INSTEAD OF CHARGING INNOCENT REPUBLICAN AMERICANS FOR TOUCHING AN AMBULANCE! When my father was dying of Pancreatic Cancer, he also had Dementia. Fully insured! His doctor told him he was overdosing on some of his meds, and Dr. Silberstein asked me as the son to administer Dad’s meds. I went to the pharmacy as always, and they knew me, I always picked up my parents’ meds. I told them what happened, and requested a list of Dad’s meds and the dosages. They quoted the damned Democrat Party HIPAA law at me! I, the first-born son of a Jew, was not allowed to do the mitzvah of taking care of my invalid father, who was dying, because of interference from these damned DEMOCRATS! I shan’t ever forgive nor forget!!! Trump was RIGHT, the Democrats HAVE destroyed our country! It’s going to take us YEARS to undo all the damage they’ve caused! Who gave Joe Biden permission to shut the entire country down for a COVID scare, anyway? I lost 3 friends to the China Bio-weapon COVID, and they would’ve died ANYWAY! Why did he have to cost us our American economy on top of everything else?! DOWN WITH COMMUNISM!!!
It looks like you need a true independence opinion. We are all Americans. If you truly agree with all of the Democratic and all the Republican policies I believe you’re lying. The truth is they want us to fight is Republicans and Democrats. Well we’re fighting over stupid things they’re working shit that they don’t want us to see you and it doesn’t matter which side it is. The matter is always about money poor and hold your hand down real tight that is starting to get along pretty good. 75% of the people on the right agree with 75% of the people on the left 75% of the time. We only see the left wings of the Democrats because they’re the ones that are so boisterous and out there in your face. But majority of the Democrats are old-school Democrats they just want safety good jobs and be able to make decent living. Which makes no difference than 75% of the Republicans. Neither the Republican or the Democratic Party leaders or the government in Washington DC which they are all the same regardless of party. They don’t want us to agree 75% of the time because if we do that will be called a mutiny that will be the American people finally taken their government back. Both sides and they do everything in their power to keep it from you or I or anyone else just wants constitutional America. We don’t need more laws we need the laws we already have enforced. I hope the dishes a lesson people on either side I really should not be Little or use a language pro point that they’re not smart enough to put it in the words. That’s what we need we need a good dialect from both sides being open and honest with understanding of reason to your point. The current debate coming up I’m probably leaning that Trump will win because I don’t believe that Kamala Harris has put the time to hear all the questions from all the different Americans which I believe will make her unprepared. I know you got a live room it’s gonna be the commentator. God bless all you Americans I got you back
I think that Brian knows that this story is satire. I think that he is playing you.
(Brian knows it’s satire, just playing us) It says worlds about he, and us, that aren’t sure, can only “think” he has conversed with reality [I’m not a betting man, but I, too, have NO idea even about the language of that soliloquy]
it wasn’t too long ago, about 100 to 150 years ago, that anyone who practiced medicine was considered a doctor. all he had to do was advertise his services in the local paper, put up a sign, and start treating patients, and he was a doctor. that was before they started certifying doctors in medical schools. once government regulations started focusing in on the industry, you had to be certified to be a doctor. of course, every doctor already practicing medicine was automatically considered a doctor. now the industry is in ruins. government regulations have eliminated any choices in the market place. medical insurance does not pay for the freedom of a market economy. people without insurance are forced to pay outrageous fees for any medical services. people with insurance are not allowed to seek alternative treatment options. treatments have to be approved, and everything is regulated. we have the worst understanding of cancer possible, because the so called experts don’t know a thing about it. every time they speak with authority, and you think you know something, a little time will pass and you will find out their definitions change. what is a tumor? how come we cannot treat tumors without determining if they are cancerous? why do they go to such great lengths to determine if you have cancer before they treat any of the symptoms of cancer? because they rely on chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy all of which are dangerous and invasive forms of treatment. they are stupid, because they are certified in medical schools to be stupid. pre cancer? metastasis? malignant? benign? these terms are all stupid, and they limit our understanding of the disease by their definitions. so even though they fail to understand how cancer can be cured, they are the only ones who are authorized to provide treatment, and they are butchers always cutting people open. they make money performing operations whether they succeed or not. i have never undergone an operation that turned out how it was intended. they just want the money.
