    My stepdaughter had a “meltdown” and we had to call an ambulance just to be sure. It was around 12K for a 30-minute drive. Insurance left us with about 5K to take care of. USA is shit.

      In Canada, our healthcare is free but we do pay for fire and medic services outside of that funding model.

      An ambulance is about $600… but anyone with employee insurance would be covered. Insurance typically covers things like massage, vision and physiotherapy services.
